Kršlak's house - In the center of Jajce, in the walls of Donja Mahala, a pearl among ordinary stones will tell you its story. Kršlak's house is not an architectural discovery, it is neither the largest nor the most beautiful house seen in this neighborhood, but it has something that neither the largest nor the most beautiful villa has nor will have. Along the entire house, through the ground floor, hand-made stone, white-painted horizontal parts of the floor and a shingled roof, numerous windows that symbolize airiness and warmth. Nicely done courtyard with a stone trough and a high stone fence around the entire length.
The very description of this unique place gives a hint of what kind of life Ibrahim-beg Kršlak led with his family. At first glance, this place simply breathes harmony and warmth, on every corner of the courtyard, on every window or corner of the house, it is possible to imagine a harmonious way of life within this unique beauty.
The house is built of light materials, with the ground floor and walls around the house being built of solid stone. Kršlak's house is one of the most beautiful examples of building an old Bosnian house. This house, which was owned by all means by one family man, has the soul and the warmth that is needed next to the fire in the fireplace to make the home a home. In January 2004, it was declared a historical monument.
