description

Ulferts Börg was built in the type of a three-part, late medieval, Frisian farmhouse. The front, transverse part of the building is the Krüsselwarck . This is followed by the Middelhus and the Veehus .

The three-part farmhouse is built in the head-neck-torso design, with the front part of the building facing the adjoining parts of the building, resulting in a T-shaped overall floor plan.

Derived from the cross shape of the assembly, the house was given the name "Krüsselwarck", which means something like "Kreuzwerk". Johannes Cadovius-Müller coined the term. He was pastor in Stedesdorf near Esens in East Frisia from 1675 to 1725 and documented this type of house in his handwritten notes from 1691.

The three building parts of the farmhouse are:

Krüsselwarck - the cross-standing stone house in which the representative living rooms were housed
Middelhus - the middle house between the stone house and the farm buildings; it contained the entrance area and mostly the large kitchen.
Veehus - the adjoining farm building with cattle shed, hay and granary

The farmhouse type emerged from the middle of the 17th century. The Gulfhaus, known today, developed from it in several stages .
