The study is focused territorially on the region of Moravian Gate that covers the foothills of the Beskids, the Hostýnské and the Oderské Hills. In this region, only few examples of wooden vernacular architecture have survived to date, among them timbered barns are the most remarkable buildings. Dendrochronological dating proved that the preserved buildings had been built mainly at the turn of the 19th century. The timbered barn in Skalička near Hranice comes from the second half of the 16th century. As early as from the second half of the 19th century, these originally wooden buildings were rebuilt to the bricked ones, as the entire farmstead was. Another reason for disappearing of wooden barn was that private farming began to vanish in the mid-20th century. The discovered wooden barns are usually used as storage rooms for different materials. Many of them have survived in fragments and their owners are not interested in safeguarding them. Contemplations about the preservation of some of these ancient buildings are justified.
