I would like to show another house in the open air museum Ballenberg. This time it is a big farmhouse from Therwil Basle (Northwestern part of Switzerland). According to the date over the main entrance on the threshing room portal, it was build in 1675. It belonged to a farm with extensive landholdings. Read more here.
I remember my grandparents having such a bed in the living room |
The kitchen - it is not easy to cook on stoves like this - there is always the danger of burning and overcooking your meal |
Tomorrow I will take you to a house which represents the Italian part of Switzerland.
It's in this direction...
See you then!

Christa,
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! I love all of it and I WANT the crochet bedspread. I would like to make one, but so far I have just bought patterns and magazines!
I love visiting places which, like this one still feel "lived in." Contemporary trends (shabby chic, etc.)become so insignificant when you are faced with the real McCoy!
I look forward to seeing the Swiss Italian house, tomorro!
This is truly interesting stuff, Christa!
THANK YOU!

I just love historical homes, so lovely to look into the past.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely house tour! I think I like the more modern stoves. Great post and photos.
ReplyDeleteI love your posts showing the old Swiss houses and their interiors.
ReplyDeleteMind you I would not like that crucifix hanging over me when I was in bed.
Obviously a Catholic home - it's a lovely place. Thanks for sharing; you're a good photographer! :)
ReplyDeleteThe house is beautiful both outside and inside, I love the shutters on the windows and the white and blue inside.
ReplyDeleteIt might seem weird but I do see resembles between the Swiss, Norwegian, even Greek old houses. It is quite amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those photos Christa!
(more please!)
