building
The single-storey linen weaver's house, built around 1750, is the oldest preserved half-timbered house in the Bautzen district. It is one of the first half-timbered houses to be built as an angular structure. The house is surrounded by a cottage garden.
The house has essentially been preserved in its original state, only the thatched roof was replaced by a slate roof around 1900. The ground floor is divided into the weaver's room, Ausgedingestübel, hall, chamber, threshing floor, banse and two stables; the bedroom is in the attic. The wooden gutters are made from a tree trunk. There is a lightning snake on the gable end. The supporting pillars and corner posts standing free in front of the dark block walls reveal the construction of the surrounding area.
In 2007 the cultural monument was extensively renovated. For the exemplary renovation with empathy, detailed knowledge and expertise by recognized regional craft businesses, which brought the house to its best advantage, the community of Sohland was awarded the Environment House Prize 2008. Repair work was carried out in 2014.
