The traditional old wooden houses

avatar

Close to the border to Lichtenstein and Austria lies the beautiful city of Werdenberg, the smallest town in Switzerland with a lot of history consistig of around 40 wooden traditional houses with around 60 inhabitants. The wooden settlement is surrounded from a medieval town wall. I've already written about the castle here in Werdenberg with a wonderful view to the mountains and lake.

The wooden houses in the center date back to the middle Ages. The combinatio of timber framing and wooden elements gives the houses a unique rustic charm, preserving much history and the local cultural heritage.

The hoses often feature steep roofsto allow snow to slide off during winter time.
