The farm of Johann Adam Schopen in the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Dirmstein is a rural property that was built in the early 18th century. It is a listed building .

Geographical location

The extensive three-sided courtyard in Hauptstrasse 33 , one of Dirmstein's largest farms in terms of area, was originally isolated between Oberdorf and Niederdorf ; since the gap between the two settlement centers has been closed, it is more likely to belong to the Niederdorf. Today's buildings in the vicinity are all much more recent.

building

Gate and barn

The left-aligned residential building has two storeys under a crippled hipped roof . The plastered facade is broken up by straight arches over the windows, which indicate a renovation in the first half of the 19th century. The irregular corner stones were originally plastered over. Inside the house is divided by a central corridor, the wooden staircase to the upper floor dates from the 19th century.

On the opposite side of the spacious yard there is a barn with a gable roof and a towed canopy . In its rubble masonry were spoils installed, which mostly by Baroque buildings originate. The rear wing of the farm building was subsequently added with brick masonry and recently changed.

An elongated courtyard wall with a arched gate and small gate separates the property from the main road.

Building history

The presumed predecessor property, which was probably built in the baroque era, became ruinous in 1689 when the French burned the entire place down in the Palatinate War of Succession . Soon after the beginning of the 18th century, the farm was rebuilt from scratch, partly using old building materials. It is already marked on the map of 1746. From 1827 the homestead was owned by Johann Adam Schopen, who in 1832 also acquired the nearby former Episcopal Palace . Small conversions and expansions were often made under Schopen and his successors.
