Szenna

The museum village of Szenna, built in the very heart of this living village, was awarded the Europa Nostra Prize. It is an outdoor collection of houses, displaying the characteristics of 19th-century architecture, first taken apart in numbered pieces at the place of their construction and then reconstructed in the museum. The museum looks as if it were a real village: next to wooden-porched houses with smokey kitchens are the timbered buildings of the cooper's, the distillery, the press house and stables.

The painted panelled ceiling of the Calvinist Church, built in 1787, is adorned with 117 unique flower patterns, with no two alike among them. A multitude of protected plants and animals inhabit the richly wooded Zselic Nature Reserve, an ideal place for hiking.
