Barn from Bracht

Große Fachwerkscheune mit roten Balken und gelben Zwischenbereichen und einem großen Scheunentor.

Built: circa 1768
Dismantled: 1977/78
Reassembled: 1979/80

The Barn and Stable from Bracht were part of a three-sided farmstead known as Kipps Hof in their original location. The modern stable part was added at a right angle to the old barn building in 1925. When they were reassembled in the Open Air Museum, the barn and stable were set up on opposite sides. The barn is a two-storey timber-framed structure resting on a plinth of trimmed sandstone. When it was reassembled in the museum, it was restored to its original appearance. A photograph taken in its old location shows that a stable had been set up in the right part of the barn. This was removed during reassembly in the museum. Instead, the barn was provided with an older barn gate with external construction.

This was reconstructed based on a 1716 model from Amönau near Wetter. In the museum, the Barn from Bracht hosts a display on mechanized threshing of grain and how threshing machines and choppers were driven using whims.
