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

Haus Pigon

Originally a twin farmhouse, Haus Pigon was converted and given a new façade with red quoins and red window framing. Haus Pigon was the seat of one of the oldest export wood carving businesses in the valley, the Riffeser company (Pigon), set up by Vinzenz Riffeser. Its foundation year is not known, but it pre-dates the First World War. At the end of the 20th century, Pigon was mainly selling imported wood carving products, and in 2012 the company shut down.
