Zehntscheune (beeches in the Odenwald)
The former tithe barn in Buchen (Odenwald) , a town in the Neckar-Odenwald district in Baden-Württemberg , was built in 1627. The tithe barn is a protected cultural monument .
History and description
The tithe barn was built in 1627 under the Archbishop of Mainz Georg Friedrich von Greiffenclau zu Vollrads . A coat of arms stone with the coat of arms of the builder can be seen in the entrance area .
With the abolition of tithing, the sale of crops, taxes had to be paid in cash . With this the building lost its original purpose. Ultimately, it served as a farrenstall before its renovation .
After extensive renovation in 1978, the building housed the city archive, the local library, museum pieces from the district museum and the Museum of the Narrenring Main-Neckar.
