archeoskanzen Trocnov Museum
Archeoskanzen Trocnov is a live museum located on Jan Zizka Memorial in South Bohemia, which represents life at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. This building offers a view of medieval village development and uses the technology and manual work of the time, especially in wood processing and roof construction.
The scandal was built as part of the cross-border project Interreg Austria-Czech Republic. Its construction took place between 2020 and 2023, with a total cost of implementation of CZK 47 million. It was necessary to cancel two procurement procedures before completion due to significant overruns of costs.
The architecture of the building is based on expert studies of Jiří Škabrada, an architect focused on folk architecture and historical construction. The project was also consulted with Peter Dostal. The scandal is divided into two main parts: the Zeman court and the Rural settlement. The Zeman court includes a house, a granary, a stable and a barn. The rural settlement contains the cottage house, the flat of the homeless and the farmer's yard. There is also a tower with bell tower and well, a furnace for firing ceramics and corral with cattle. There are also items of common use at the time such as furniture, agricultural and craft tools, weapons and the Hussite car.
The operator of the building is the South Bohemia Museum in České Budějovice, which is also a branch of Jan Žižka Memorial. The founder is the South Bohemia Region.
Two main events take place each year at the scandal: War and Military in mid-June and the Trocnov Festival in September. In addition to these events, various workshops and other events take place.
Archeoskanzen has been open to the public since 2023, in 2026 it is planned to open a new visitor center. There is a blue tourist brand from Ostrolovský Újezce and from railway station Trocnov, red from Rahovac u Trocnova. The area passes through the cycle path 1122 Novohradsko- Doudlebsko. The property is also available by car with parking.
This object offers a valuable insight into the history of the High Middle Ages and its everyday habits, where technology and craft practices can be observed.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring: In the spring, the neighborhood wakes up and everything starts to green. The light is soft and rough in this period, which beautifully highlights the details of the old buildings. The atmosphere is full of expectations and freshness. I recommend you take several layers of clothing because the wounds can still be cold while the afternoon is getting warmer. Due to the melting snow or rain, prepare for a slightly damp path.
Summer: Summer days bring intense sun and rich, dense vegetation that surrounds historic houses. The day is long and the air can be hot, which gives the place a sense of life. For a pleasant experience it is best to visit the scandal early in the morning or in late in the afternoon when the shadow and heat is not such. Don't forget the headgear and plenty of fluids.
Autumn: Autumn season offers the most impressive color spectrum, when leaves change colour to gold and brown. The morning mist brings a mysterious and melancholy mood to the memory. It is the perfect time for photography thanks to low, golden light. Clothes should be waterproof and warm enough because moisture and cold can spread rapidly in the forest.
Winter: In winter, the place is very quiet and lonely. Without leaves you can see the rough shapes of wooden structures and the whole landscape can be covered with snow or freeze. The sun is low in the sky and the days are short, so plan a visit around noon when the most light is. A very warm winter jacket, solid shoes with good grip and gloves are necessary.
