Bohlenständerhaus

Plank stud construction is a wall construction method in which boards are inserted horizontally between load-bearing posts. The plank-studded houses, which were very common in the Middle Ages, were cheaper than stone houses and could even be dismantled and rebuilt at another location. The Bohlenständerhaus near Amriswil is a typical small farmhouse from 1538, of which only a few remain. It is also the only one that is open to the public. The museum includes a residential building with a furnished parlour, bedroom, kitchen and weaving cellar. The stable barn, which was added in the middle of the 19th century, regularly hosts temporary exhibitions and cultural events.
