What do the buildings tell us about the village?

The buildings can be distinguished by their materials, functions, and dates of construction.

The house, storehouse, and stable are each identified and dated; together, the farmstead also showcases both timber and masonry. If you are interested in architectural forms, you can focus on these differences when looking at the individual buildings.

Other houses add to the picture, though they do not all date from the same period: the wooden house at No. 7 dates from around 1915, as does the house at No. 30. The wooden house at No. 45 is dated to around 1917, while the wooden house at No. 37 dates from the 1920s. The wooden fire station at No. 55 dates from 1932.

Which stories of the crosses are part of the village’s history?
