Detached uninhabited Gustin farm with stonewalled eastern section and wooden western section.

Gustin

Home to a famous wood carver

The detached 15th-century farmhouse at the start of Wolkenstein enjoys listed building status and is not inhabited today. One part of the living quarters  was found in the stonewalled eastern section of the building. The parlour ('Stube') and rooms were in the wooden boarded section. This is where the famous wood carver Katharina Kasslatter (anda Trina da Gustin), one of the first students at the art school in Wolkenstein to sign her work, lived until her death in 1974.
