Maison rurale de l'Outre-Forêt, Heritage interpretation center in Kutzenhausen, France.

The Maison Rurale de l'Outre-Forêt is a museum site with several buildings arranged around a paved courtyard, displaying traditional Alsatian farm architecture. The rooms hold furniture and everyday objects from those who lived there long ago.

The dwelling house was built between the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and the farm complex was later converted into a museum inaugurated in 1998. The collections document rural life in northern Alsace from the 1920s to the 1950s, before motorisation reached agriculture. In 2008 the site received the "Centre d'interprétation du patrimoine" label for Arts and Traditions Populaires.

The workshops display traditional crafts like blacksmithing, wheelmaking, and barrel-making as they were practiced locally. Visitors watch how craftspeople worked and what skills these trades demanded.

A visit here requires little preparation, as most information is provided on-site. Comfortable shoes are helpful since you walk between the buildings across the grounds.

The two black cast-iron stoves on the stone floor of the outbuilding are the farm's old cooking and heating units; the taller one has a curved top, a wooden-handled door and a row of small round holes along its lower front, while the lower one carries a rusty chimney and split firewood is stacked beside it.
