Building history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

It is quite possible that the house and outbuilding previously located on the property were damaged in the Great Fire of Kristinestad 1859. The present residential building was built
in 1862. It is a short-cornered log building with a grooved horizontal timber frame and a pitched roof. The window frames are original, only some of the glass has been replaced. The house has
a vaulted brick cellar, which is quite rare in the old houses of Kristinestad.
Before the current concrete tile roof, the house had a wooden roof and probably later a felt roof.
On the property there is a log outbuilding built in 1859. In the building was a barn for 3-4 cows, a stable, an outhouse, a salt cellar and other storage facilities.
There was a baker’s cottage built in 1850, which may also have been used as a dwelling. The building was demolished in the 1990s due to its very bad condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
