# Traditional Krk House Types

> Traditional Krk houses fall into recognizable types based on location, size, and function: the dense urban village house (one to three stories, narrow frontage, shared walls with neighbors), the larger village merchant or notable house (more elaborate decoration, sometimes courtyard plan), the rural farm house (combined residential and agricultural functions, often with stable on ground floor), and the small estate or hamlet house (smaller, simpler). Each type expresses the same broader stone vernacular tradition (entry 286) but adapted to specific function and location. Understanding these types helps visitors read the village fabric they encounter and recognize the social and economic life that produced it.
