Haus Lenert

Ecclesiastical sculptoral art for four generations

Franz Moroder de Plandemureda extended little Lenért farmhouse and set up production of ecclesiastical art as a new branch of the 'Gebrüder Moroder' company. In 1906, he purchased an art school in Offenburg, which was managed by his sons, Eduard and Rudolf. Pre-1914, there were up to 40 artisans working at Lenért and Offenburg at times. His grandson, Norbert, is said to have carried on carving wood in this historical workshop before it closed down a few years ago.
