Purger's packaging house
Distribution centre for wooden toys and sacred art
The former stable at Panahof farm was extended by Johann Baptist Purger in 1854 for the purpose of packaging toys and, at a later date, altars, for export. A bridge over the Annabach stream was built at the same time to ease transport by sledge. Today, the packaging house is home to an eatery with a western façade consisting of porphyry stone blocks like the bridge, while its foundations are made of solid Gröden sandstone.
