Wooden Kozolec (traditional haydrying structure)
Motnik, Slovenia
This toplar-type (linked) hayrack incorporates a raised storage crib between the racks, a loft within the roof volume, and covered space for threshing or storage of farm equipment on the ground below. Crops are delivered to the crib through openings in the floor or front façade. According to Tone Cevc (1993), such linked hayracks were developed to accommodate more complex farming methods in early modern times. The roadside location is convenient for access by farm vehicles.
