Cësanueva in Plajdinaz in St. Christina

Cësanueva

Twin farmhouse on the steep slopes of Plejdinaz

The farmhouse, partly built into the surrounding land, dates back to the 15th century. The current living quarters were converted around the start of the 20th century. For generations, jointed wooden dolls and horses as well as special crib figurines with moving parts were made at Josef Insam's family business and sold all over Europe. In times of war, production was extended to include prosthetic hands and feet.
