Col dala Pelda

Representative Wolkenstein family house

Col dala Pelda is a building representative of the baroque era with tent roof and intricate façade decorations built around 1640 by two ladies from the House of Wolkenstein - hence the coat of arms on the north-eastern side. From around 1700 to 1878 it was the seat of the local court (the stocks were not far away), before becoming a private dwelling. The barn belonging to it was built in 1690 and has been a listed building since 2024.
