Summary/Abstract: The influence of stucco works at farmhouse gables from the region of soběslavsko-veselská Blata becomes seldom evident in the neighbouring region of Kozácko yet some traces can be found even in this poorer area. The Kozácko side, however, is much more austere as to this decoration. We can encounter just rarely a large frontage with gate and granary. Here predominate gable-oriented smaller dwellings with a hovel or small barn in the rear part, perpendicularly situated to the house. The gables are usually smooth, without decoration. Yet stucco work penetrated onto some of these smallholdings, as we can see in the villages of Planá nad Lužnicí, Malšice, Bečice, Košice etc. From predominating decorative elements, let us mention toothed circles with hearts, motifs with cross, sun, or flower pot and tassel. The gable surface is divided by pilasters and the gable is often bordered with arc-shaped or tassel-shaped ornaments. The drawing and photographic documentation in archives will enrich the next research.
