Fachwerk Kotten
tucked away in wooded hills
Fachwerk Kotten is how these houses are called in Germany. The word is closely related to the English word Cottage. Which is not surprising as both Cottages and Kotten were built to serve essentialy the same purpose: providing a home for farm labourers and their families.
The former barn door faces East,
the terrace has a southerly aspect.

The West gable.
After the renovation the cement render was left
to weather through Winter and Spring.
