Waelderhaus, Austrian-style heritage building in Kohler Village, Wisconsin, United States.

Waelderhaus is a building in Kohler Village modeled on the childhood home of John Michael Kohler in Schnepfau, Vorarlberg. Austrian architect Kaspar Albrecht designed it in the traditional style of the Bregenzerwald region, with a veranda, living room and work room finished in the original style. Its interior holds rich carvings, wrought-iron craftsmanship, stained glass, Austrian furniture and tapestries.

The building was constructed in 1931 by Marie Christine Kohler as a tribute to her father Johann Michael Kohler, who had emigrated from Schnepfau in Vorarlberg, Austria. It stands as a tangible record of how a prominent Wisconsin family maintained their connection to their Alpine homeland.

The house was built as a copy of the Schnepfau childhood home of founder Johann Michael Kohler, and its second floor holds a Bregenzerwald-style kitchen with objects the Kohler family brought from Austria. A meeting room there was dedicated to Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scout Movement, for the local Girl Scouts.

The Waelderhaus is open daily except holidays, with free guided tours of the house. The building sits at the edge of Kohler Village, the model industrial settlement begun in 1912, and its three floors are reached by stairs, including the keeper's apartment and theatrical wardrobe on the third floor.

The exterior wall carries a Nodus sundial, a vertical declining dial set on a wall that does not face due south. Zodiac symbols mark the seasons, and because of its angle it reads the time only from sunrise to noon.
