"Step back in time at Muckross Traditional Farms in County Kerry, where you can explore the charm of 19th-century farm life. One of the highlights is the quaint straw-roofed poultry cage, home to a lively flock of chickens and their adorable chicks. As you wander through the crumbled walls and imagine children playing in this idyllic setting, it's easy to see why these traditional houses with straw roofs were once a common sight across Europe. In Dublin, Ireland, Adare village showcases its rich heritage with traditional cottages boasting charming straw roofs. These unique structures blend seamlessly into the picturesque landscape, offering a glimpse into Ireland's architectural past. Traveling further south takes us to Santana on Madeira Island in Portugal. Here, under the shade of a palm tree, stand traditional houses adorned with straw roofs. The combination of European influences and tropical surroundings creates an enchanting atmosphere that captivates visitors from all over. Venturing beyond Europe brings us to Un Village dans L'Oubangui-Chari - an African village depicted in drawings and paintings by talented artists. Amongst these vibrant illustrations are images showcasing traditional houses topped with intricately woven straw roofs. This artistic representation transports us to far-off lands where cultural diversity thrives. Closer to home again is Zinder - another African town captured through artistry - displaying dwellings featuring strikingly beautiful straw roofs. These masterpieces offer insight into local craftsmanship while celebrating Africa's rich history and traditions. Returning to Europe once more leads us back to Dublin's Adare village; however, this time we find ourselves transported back in time to 1860s springtime scenes filled with bustling activity. In C. J Lewis' painting titled "House with Straw Roof, " we witness children playing joyfully amidst nature as they hold dolls near doorways while animals chirp happily nearby. Finally, journeying eastward brings us Lithuania's Curonian Spit region, where the traditional house with a straw roof stands proudly in Nida.
