Did you know?

The Zehentmaier building is a" fire-house", which means that it does not have a chimney, but a smoke louvre. This ventilation shaft allowed the smoke to escape the building via the upper level. There is a wattle and clay spark arrester known as a “Kutte” above the hearth. This type of “fire-house”, in which there was an open-hearth fire for cooking, persisted in southern Upper Bavaria until the 18th century.
