Orvelte farmhouse

A farm in the small village of Orvelte.

And the same farmhouse from the other side. Orvelte presents itself as a 'museum village', as there are several historical sights like a saw mill and a blacksmith. A number of farmhouses and other buildings are open to the public -which wasn't the case though with the farmhouse on the photo.

  1. I like the style of construction. One wouldn't see that here.

  2. ...it has an unusual roof, unlike any thing that we would see here. I like the thatch and tile roofing.

  3. It looks very old and very dark. I wonder what the interior looks like. Do you think it has modern appliances? Such places I find very interesting!

    1. It looked as if people were living there, so it probably is very modern inside.

  4. Nice looking house, I've never seen one like it before. I do like the thatched roof, we have some of those here.

  6. I wonder how many folks are trained in creating thatched roofs. Can't be too many.

  7. That looks like a medieval construction that would have been built with no windows or chimneys and with smoke from the fire finding its way out through the thatch. If it is then it's a rare survival.
