Sweden House (Franconia)
The Sweden House , even Edwardian building called, is a byre-dwelling in the framework construction , which in Swiss francs was used and the townscape of many villages in the area around Nuremberg coined. The buildings erected in the 15th and 16th centuries during the Renaissance period , but based on an older design, are the oldest farmhouses in the region. The term Swedish House came about because the buildings date from before the Thirty Years' War , the Swedish War . Due to the use of new forms of construction from the 17th century and the demolition of historic farmhouses that continued well into the 20th century, only a few examples of this house shape have survived to this day.
The specialty of these buildings is that the roof structure stands on an internal post construction and does not rest on the outer walls. The Swedish house built in 1556/57 in Großreuth behind the fortress is the oldest known farmhouse in the north of Nuremberg. Another from Almoshof was moved to the Franconian Open Air Museum in Bad Windsheim .
