How it came to be
Vlkolínec, in the Veľká Fatra mountains of central Slovakia, has roots in the 10th century and is first recorded in 1376. Its name probably comes from the Slovak word for wolf, and by 1469 it had five streets.
Its log houses of two or three rooms mostly date from the 19th century. Forty-three almost unaltered homesteads survive, along with a bell tower of 1770 and a church of 1875, and a channelled stream runs through the middle of the village. A row of houses burned in the Second World War was never rebuilt.
The village became part of the town of Ružomberok in 1882. It was declared a reservation of folk architecture in 1977 and inscribed in 1993.
