This village in the Rajčanka valley resembles a set of gingerbread houses. For the last 200 years, the wooden walls of its buildings have been decorated with white geometric patterns painted with lime. In 1921 a fire consumed a large portion of Čičmany, but the village was rebuilt by its inhabitants in its original form. In the two-storey Raden’s house (No. 42) is the Považské Museum  with photographs, embroidered costumes, and furniture illustrating village life. There is an interesting section on tinkers.
