A beautiful, well-preserved historic building.

This house is an art-historical treasure chest, in which almost everything remains unchanged as it was 100 years ago: Built in 1912 in the historicist style of a Swiss house, with Lüftlmalerei (air paintings) on the facade and also painted all over the interior. In the magnificent entrance area, a taxidermied capercaillie greets you from the wall; the carved coat hooks and the painted grandfather clock are beautiful. The wood paneling, old doors, original fittings, box windows, and authentic plank floors are cozy. The house was awarded a heritage prize by the Hyypo Foundation in 2012.
