I was reading a book a few years ago that took place in Russia (The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden) and it mentioned characters sleeping on the stove when it was the depths of winter. And, I’m like, what? This was before I’d become proficient with using google translate.

A bit later I saw Three Wishes for Cinderella (1973, above photo) and realized my own ancestors may have had stoves/ovens quite unlike my own.

And so I had to begin to dig. I was reminded of this search the other day when I wrote a post about the Czech/Slovak fairytale The Twelve Months/Moons and ran across this illustration (illustrator unknown):

So I leapt back down the rabbit hole and found more pictures of old cottage ovens/stoves. Some are newly built for modern homes, some are old ones rebuilt, and some are museum recreations.

Tiled stoves have been experiencing a resurgence in popularity in recent years, and there are many reasons for this. That's why people are having new ones built, but it's also possible to keep old stoves running or bring them back to life.

While in the past, tiled stoves, cookers or ovens were often demolished due to space or apparent impracticality, today many cottage owners are trying to preserve or restore them, even at the cost of expensive repairs, or to return them to the house in a new form.

However, typical and in many ways irreplaceable for cottages are more rural types of stoves, which often included an oven or furnace as well as a stove with a cooking hob. They form the natural heart of the house and the dominant feature of the kitchen, where they are a source of heat and a place for preparing food, where you can dry wet clothes around them and even sleep on them. No other heater can replace that.
