Summary/Abstract: The application of “high architecture” in folk architecture in the ethnographic area of Haná is not so known and remarkable as it is in the more famous and popular Southern-Bohemian version. Yet a plenty of high-decorative elements have survived so far. We can identify echoes of the styles in three forms. The first one includes the application of eclectic styles on the facades of habitable parts in the farmsteads – this concerns especially the Neo-Baroque or Classicistic set of architectural elements. The second form includes the arcade rain porch – a phenomenon in Central Haná that not only applies elements from castle courtyards in rural environment but also solves the static problem of roof framing extension over the doorstep. The third form features exposed burnt bricks on street-facing bare façades.
