House names are the names belonging to a specific house and the land or estate connected with it, as well as the inhabitants and the buildings that they own. They often remain unchanged, in spite of change of ownership or the owners' surname. They are an important element of the cultural-historical memory of the community.


The element of the intangible cultural heritage has a lot of bearers who are, due to the large number, not being inscribed in the Register.
