Architecture and history

The two-storey half - timbered house was built at the beginning of the 19th century. It was built on a base made of rubble stones , which, due to the existing gradient, was laid out in a staggered manner. The building's framework is simple. While the basement is relatively high, the upper floor is rather low. There is a doorway on the south side of the house facade. After renovation work, this was partially walled up and replaced by a front door. During renovation work between 2005 and 2007, it was restored. At the same time, a dilapidated outbuilding was replaced.

Inside the house there is a black kitchen , but its construction dates back to the 17th century.
