Lüscher Thatched House with Granary, Historical farm museum in Muhen, Switzerland.
Description
The Lüscher Thatched House with Granary is an 18th century farmhouse with a straw roof that retains its original appearance today. The complex displays living quarters, work areas, and a grain storage section that help visitors understand the layout of a traditional Swiss farm.
History
Built in 1721, it served multiple generations of farming families as both home and grain storage. Over the centuries it remained structurally intact and was later converted into a museum to preserve this way of life.
Culture
The house shows how farming families lived and worked, with spaces that connected dwelling and agriculture under one roof. The arrangement of furniture and tools reveals daily routines and the rhythm of rural family life.
Practical
The museum opens on announced visiting days, usually on the first Sundays or by arrangement for groups. It is best to contact ahead or check local information to ensure the house is accessible for your visit.
Did you know?
The straw roof is not merely decorative but was installed using traditional techniques and requires regular maintenance and renewal. This craftsmanship is rare today and shows how demanding it was to maintain buildings in the past.
