Col de Flam Dessot detached farmhouse, east-side entrance

Col de Flam Dessot

Detached farmhouse divided in two along the roof ridge line

The core of this detached farm with living and farm quarters under one roof dates back to 1554. The inside of the listed farm building was converted a few years ago. The farm name is from the pre-Romanesque place name of Col de Flam, which is linked to a Latène period cult site ('place with priests', 'place of invocation'), attested to by archaeological finds in Museum Gherdëina.
