The Kulnighof (Slovenian / Windisch: Kollnig (g) = Radmacher, Wagner) is a farm on Christofberg in the municipality of Brückl in the Carinthian district of Sankt Veit an der Glan . The courtyard consists of the main house and the barn with a threshing floor .

architecture

While the former residential house represents the type of a Lower Carinthian "longitudinal arbor house" or corner house, the large brick pillar barn with brick lattice windows testifies to the changes in production technology in agriculture during the second half of the 19th century . The Kulnighof is one of the last examples of the combination of a longitudinal arbor house and an angle house, this stately building structure is based on the construction of the foothills of the Saualpe.

The peculiarity of the main house is that it houses the longest arbor in Carinthia, which is recorded in the Carinthian State Museum.

The lower part of the pillar barn corresponds to the type of a large passage stable, which is adorned by a long columned hall with 3 round arch elements. As was customary at the end of the 19th century, this had a high entrance, which has faded over time. The brick lattice windows are designed in the shape of a pointed arch, which are modeled on the shape of a church as a sign of faith.

As a commitment to the Catholic faith, the main building as well as the pillar of the Christofberg Church have been prepared.

The builder of the main house is the St. Veiter industrialist Johann Mathias Freiherr von Koller . This is inhabited all year round and has been renovated and modernized several times over the years; Most recently, the roof was replaced after a hailstorm in 2015. The farm is owned by the Karl Kurath family. A wooden grain box with a cider press , located west of the courtyard into the 21st century, has meanwhile been lost.

Kulnig wayside shrine

The Kulnig wayside shrine at the crossroads north of the courtyard was built in its current form as a replacement for an old wayside shrine. It is a four-sided niche shrine with a pyramid roof covered with Eternit shingles. A ball knob with a point forms the upper end. The style of the wayside shrine is based on a baroque construction. This was renovated in 2018.
