Chebuhar's House (Čebuharova kuća)
Chebuhar's House (Croatian: Čebuharova kuća) is located in the very center of Čavle, a place that owes its development to Louisiana road.
The Louisiana road (Croatian: Lujzijana, Lujzinska cesta) is a roadway in Croatia, built between 1803 and 1812 by an association of noble families (Lichtenstein, Dietrichstein, Esterházy, Harrach, Batthyány, Anna Maria Erdődy) and finished by the French Empire. It is named after Napoleon's second wife Marie Louise. It linked Rijeka with Karlovac through Grobničko polje, Kamenjak, Gornje Jelenje, Lokve, Delnice, Skrad, Stubica, Severin na Kupi, and Netretić. It was the shortest route between Rijeka and Karlovac, and was one of the most modern roads in the empire.
The construction of the road was recognized and used by numerous entrepreneurs, including the Chebuhar family, who built a former inn in Čavle, and today the seat of the Municipal Administration.
It is a traditional ethno house that serves as a testimony of the former life of the inhabitants of the Municipality of Čavle, thus a cultural monument worth seeing.
