 museum, listed building / architectural heritage, ethnographic museum

This house was the home of the sexton (caretaker of the church) until just after the Second World War. Up until the 19th century, the sextons were also church organists and teachers. The schoolroom, which was much smaller in the 18th century, has been enlarged twice. This is where the teaching was done until 1889. The teacher's apartment is located across from the schoolroom. The house itself is a typical Flachgau single-building farm, subdivided into three areas: living-area, barn and stable. The living-area is a block construction where the outer walls were plastered towards the end of the 19th century.
