Summary/Abstract: Singular recent finds of granary-style houses in the District of Český Krumlov have become a motivation to find out to which extent this type of archaic houses has survived in the entire ethnographic area of Doudlebsko, where such finds are located. The occurrence of the granary-style house in this region is mentioned also in older literature. A research task of the National Heritage Institute, financed by the Ministry of Culture programme for institutional support, provided financial funds for an overall research in the years 2013 and 2014. This research mapped 85 village settlements in the ethnographic area of Doudlebsko. From a plethora of discovered houses that featured one of more hallmarks typical for the granarystyle house, several best-preserved and hitherto not published examples are described.
