Sede da Fazenda Cancela, Historic farmhouse in Colônia Witmarsum, Palmeira, Brazil.

The farmhouse combines wood and masonry construction methods, featuring a single floor with a habitable attic, encompassing 400 square meters of built area.

Built in the first half of the 20th century, the farmhouse belonged to Senator Roberto Glaser before becoming a central part of the Mennonite settlement.

The building later served as a maternity hospital where many current members of the local Mennonite community were born in Colônia Witmarsum.

The structure stands in the administrative center of Colônia Witmarsum, connected to highways BR 277 and BR 376 through a state road.

The Historical Museum, established in 1989 inside the farmhouse, displays furniture, photographs, and equipment from both Santa Catarina and Witmarsum colonies.
