History:
My father often helped my aunt's four-sided farm during the holidays. He has been renovating it piece by piece since 1996. With enormous effort and staying power. Old half-timbered houses, old plows and tractors have always fascinated him. The half-timbered houses in the yard ... that was still healthy construction with clay. It kept warm in winter and nice and cool in summer.
He had to act because the farm in Horka had been vacant since 1988. Buildings were decaying. Devices rusted away.
In 1996/97 he renovated the barn, in 1998/99 the house and after 2000 followed the renovation of the former cowshed, in which the shared accommodation offered here is located.
The cowshed dates from 1786 and is the oldest building on the Vierseithof. There used to be a cow and chicken coop on the ground floor. Hay was stored on the upper floor. There was also a room for pigeon breeding. The roof was re-covered with the original roof tiles. A Pawlatsche (catwalk) was added from the courtyard side. The upper floor and the roof structure have been completely rebuilt. In the 2nd A communal accommodation was set up on the upper floor in 2017. In the 1st The upper floor is characterized by a large kitchen and a ballroom.

Apartment description:
