Serbian to English Other Anthropology
Nema savršenijeg mesta na kome možete videti i razumeti način na koji su ljudi ovde živeli od sela Sirogojno. Muzejski prostor ovde uključuje propratne objekte: kačaru, kovačnicu, pekare, mlkare, štale i suknaru, u kojima se možete upoznati sa davno zaboravljenim zanatima, a možda i kući poneti ručno rađeni delić ovog kraja.

rickhouse / rackhouse

"What is a Rickhouse?
A rickhouse is a tall rectangular structure built of either wood or steel. It is designed to store and age distilled spirits, usually bourbon. They are usually located in close proximity to the distillation process so that the aging process can be closely monitored. Some of the oldest rickhouses date back to the late 1700s and were mainly used for storing and aging whiskey in Ireland. The word rick is believed by some historians to originate from the Irish word “righ”, which means king. Traditionally, a distiller’s rickhouse was called a king’s warehouse. Today, they are usually built with concrete or brick bottoms and metal walls because they are more durable than wooden structures."

disagree Daryo : Basing Confidence Level 5 (="I'm 100% sure this is the only correct translation") on a source where you can find "a specially built object" is grossly over-optimistic.
