A Britzka carriage 1820 - The Science Museum, London. A britzka (also spelled brichka or britska) is a type of horse-drawn carriage. It was a long carriage with four wheels, with a folding top over the rear seat and a rear-facing front seat, and was pulled by two horses. Its size made it suitable for use as a 19th century equivalent to a motorhome, as it could be adapted with all manner of conveniences (beds, dressing tables and so on) for the traveller. 固opFoto *** Local Caption *** German britschka and Russian brichka.
