Summary

Osridke, called Osridtke in conservation sources, is one of the hamlets around Selca. Alongside shepherds’ houses, it also had a school, important for understanding public life in the rural area.

The school shows that the history of the hamlets includes shared institutions as well as homes and barns.

Name and family territory

The official description uses the form Osridtke, while public maps show Osridke. Both refer to a hamlet within the same group of rural communities around Selca. The historical description associates it with houses belonging to the Trutanić family.

Education among the hamlets

The old school in Osridke shows that this area also had an educational role. The conservation description highlights a simple stone building with a school bell. The school is a separate site, while the settlement pin represents the group of houses.

Connection with Selca and the present-day area

Selca was the historic centre for these hamlets. Understanding the area means considering its houses, paths and work spaces. Check current use of the buildings and access locally; the older description of depopulation does not mean that every building is abandoned.
