The three-room barn, built as a log structure with a comb-over, is sheltered by a gabled roof that projects far over both sides of the eaves. This roof, constructed as a rafter roof, protects both the feeding troughs and the space in front of the stables from the rain. The feeding troughs facing the house could be filled from the outside. The small building is an impressive example of a functional construction method in former rural agriculture.
