House called "Bethlehem" - built in 1287

One of the oldest wooden houses still standing in Europe. The trees used for building the block-house like central part were felled in the year 1287. Other parts were added from time to time. In the 17th/18th century big holes have been sawed into the fassade to insert bigger windows.
