Ig, Slovenia
Ig (; formerly ''Studenec'', german: Brunndorf''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 112.) is the largest settlement and the seat of the Municipality of Ig, central Slovenia. Name The name ''Ig'' was first attested in 1249 as ''Yge'' (and as ''Ighe'', ''Iglem'', and ''Iglom'' in 1261, ''Yg'' in 1262, and ''Hyco'' and ''Hyc'' in 1299). During the Middle Ages, ''Ig'' was a regional name, and the settlement now known as Ig was called ''Studenec'' until the beginning of the 19th century. The etymology of the name ''Ig'' is unclear. It may be connected with the Slovene common noun ''igo'' 'yoke' (in reference to the course of the Iška River), or to the Slovene common noun ''iva'' 'goat willow' (through borrowing into and then from German), or it may derive from a pre-Slavic substratum.

Parish Church
A parish church (or parochial church) in Christianity is the church which acts as the religious centre of a parish. In many parts of the world, especially in rural areas, the parish church may play a significant role in community activities, often allowing its premises to be used for non-religious community events. The church building reflects this status, and there is considerable variety in the size and style of parish churches. Many villages in Europe have churches that date back to the Middle Ages, but all periods of architecture are represented. Roman Catholic Church Each diocese (administrative unit, headed by a Bishop) is divided into parishes. Normally, a parish comprises all Catholics living within its geographically defined area.

Prehistoric Pile Dwellings Around The Alps
Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps are a series of prehistoric pile dwelling (or stilt house) settlements in and around the Alps built from about 5000 to 500 BC on the edges of lakes, rivers or wetlands. In 2011, 111 sites located variously in Switzerland (56), Italy (19), Germany (18), France (11), Austria (5) and Slovenia (2) were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. In Slovenia, these were the first World Heritage Sites to be listed for their cultural value. Excavations conducted at some of the sites have yielded evidence regarding prehistoric life and the way communities interacted with their environment during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages in Alpine Europe. These settlements are a unique group of exceptionally well-preserved and culturally rich archaeological sites, which constitute one of the most important sources for the study of early agrarian societies in the region. Contrary to popular belief, the dwellings were not erected over water, but on nearby ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stilt House
Stilt houses (also called pile dwellings or lake dwellings) are houses raised on stilts (or piles) over the surface of the soil or a body of water. Stilt houses are built primarily as a protection against flooding; they also keep out vermin. The shady space under the house can be used for work or storage. Arctic Houses where permafrost is present, in the Arctic, are built on stilts to keep permafrost under them from melting. Permafrost can be up to 70% water. While frozen, it provides a stable foundation. However, if heat radiating from the bottom of a home melts the permafrost, the home goes out of level and starts sinking into the ground. Other means of keeping the permafrost from melting are available, but raising the home off the ground on stilts is one of the most effective ways. Indo-Pacific Raised rectangular houses are one of the cultural hallmarks of the Austronesian peoples and are found throughout the regions in Island Southeast Asia, Island Melanesia, Micrones ...
