This house is used by the museum to present traditional rural crafts and trades. The ground-floor rooms of the living quarters are set up as workshops for craft demonstrations, while the working quarters house exhibitions on niche rural crafts in Upper Bavaria. There are also magnificent murals from the 17th century on the upper floor. The house was given to Glentleiten as a result of these murals.

At its original location in Heretsham, the house was part of an impressive, four-sided farmstead. This was belonged to the directly adjacent Heretsham manor house, which was built by the noble Herzheimer family of Trostberg in 1404. The first documentary evidence of the farm dates from 1484, and Christoph Mörner is named as the inhabitant of the farm around 1625. This was when the house name also became established.
