Villa Domur

From farmhouse with workshop to turn-of-the-century villa with teaching activities

The wood carver Christina Rifesser was running a workshop in the old farmhouse Domur back in 1888. When Matthias Comploy inherited the farmhouse in Tieja from his mother in 1903, he turned it into a turn-of-the-century style villa and set up a private teaching workshop for sculpting and altar-building carpentry. As of 1910, the teacher Albino Pitscheider and his family lived here and Comploy had to auction the workshop after the First World War.
