Museum of the Battle at Vavrišov

The Museum of the Battle of Vavrišov was opened in October 2010. It was built to commemorate the battle that took place on the territory of the village in August 1709 as part of the Estates Rebellions of Francis II. Rákociho. 

The museum building is complemented by a lookout tower with a unique view of the Bela River, the ridge of the Western Tatras and the majestic Krivan. The building represents the traditional folk architecture of Liptov with the use of natural materials - wood and stone.

The interior of the museum is used to present the regional history of Liptov from the 18th century. It contains artifacts from the battle, but also pictures of the life of the common people from this period.

The museum contains replicas of soldiers in uniform that visitors can dress up and take a picture of them. There is also a plastic map of the terrain and the battle itself.
