The House of Kalajdžieski family, or House of Kalajdžievci is a house in the village of Vevčani, Vevčani Municipality, North Macedonia. The house belongs to the Kalajdžieski family and the building is registered as a Cultural Heritage of North Macedonia.[2]
The house is located in the old part of Vevčani, in close proximity to the St. Nicholas Church.
History[edit]
The Kalajdžieski family ― the owners of the house ― who were widely known traders, had a shop for gas for gas lighting, long pile blankets and food in this place.
At the end of the 19th century, a fire broke out in which the house burned down and members of the Kalajdzieski family died, trying to save part of the furniture. Due to the family's popularity, some Turkish individuals helped them financially to rebuild the house on the same foundation.
During World War II in Yugoslav Macedonia, the house was used to hide the partisans and to hold secret meetings.
Architecture[edit]
The house of Kalajdžievci is a tall house with a narrow front, a spacious veranda at the front and a clearly differentiated summer-time apartment on the first floor made of light bundwerk construction and a winter-time apartment on a massive mezzanine.[1]
