The village build-up area in the region of Vysočina has been considerably changed during the 19th century from the timbered to the bricked constructions. The change started in the southwest part of this region at the beginning of the 19th century, which was probably caused by the older build-up area, which had already been partly bricked. The timbered constructions in the Vysočina's northeast part were officially tolerated from the late 19th century above all because of the rare build-up area in higher localities, where the wooden houses did not pose such fire risk like in villages with houses built closer to each other. Bricked buildings have gained a complicated progress during the 19th century, which was allowed by mostly various material sources. Partial rebuildings were often during the one or two generation time on average, which showed up thanks to the noted historical objects. From this reason it was necessary to look on all preserved objects from the view of building history, since all found situations are the results of the wide variety of the building phases covering each other. The progress mostly influenced by the fire prevention rules proceeded in many ways. The most important of them was the change of material of the walls and gradual separation of the truss and the roof...
