"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Haus Lenert

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.

Mureda

The dwelling is an original, fully stonewalled gothic construction from 1462/64. On the south-west façade there is a fresco of St. Florian, while an old church path runs past to the south. The farm building nearby was extended after the First World War in turn-of-the-century style and renovated a few years ago. Mureda, along with its neighbouring house Muradëures, have protected ensemble status and were the home of the sculptors Christian (1896-1968) and Eduard Moroder (1928-2010).
