Fëur auf Furnes, original farmhouse, today a mountain pasture hut

Fëur

Farm with one of the oldest parlour ceilings in Tyrol

Fëur auf Furnes is one of the highest-lying farms in Gröden. The building with listed status was originally a twin farmhouse and is nowadays used as a mountain pasture hut. The original preserved 15th-century gable roof-shaped parlour ceiling is one of the oldest parlours in the Tyrol area. The house and its parlour were a popular motif for the painter Josel Moroder Lusenberg, who used them mainly in his light and colour studies.
