Junerëi (from juniperus = juniper) is a group of houses at Außerwinkel by Cudan stream. The farms have been occupied since the early 16th century. The one-storey house bearing the name Junerëi on its eastern façade is a baroque structure. The Trebinger family has been running a major workship for baroque figurines and frame cutting here since 1662. Junerëi continued to be a centre for sculpture and craftsmanship into the 20th century.
