Description
The lower part of the building was built in quarrystone masonry. Here the livestock was quartered. Twice a day a farmhand filled the wooden manger with hay. The hay mow was on the upper floor; the loosely set wall infillings provided air circulation.
Livestock Below, Hay Above
The lower part of the building was built in quarrystone masonry. Here the livestock was quartered. Twice a day a farmhand filled the wooden manger with hay. The hay mow was on the upper floor; the loosely set wall infillings provided air circulation. The animals below, the hay above – the classic division of this type of building.
Atypical Elegance
The outer form of the building is in contrast to the ordinary interior: the roof is covered in tiles and has a quarter hip more common in dwellings. The profiled cornerposts and braces are striking, the stone-framed stall openings nearly excessive. The impressive appearance of the barn has its reason: it belonged to the farm domain of Abraham von Graffenried and was therefore part of a patrician estate. This special status is reflected in the architecture.
