Costamula Dessëura detached farm with 'palancin'

Costamula Dessëura

One of the few detached farmhouses in Val Gardena

Detached farmhouses are rare in Val Gardena and are usually more recent structures. Costamula Dessëura was built around 1686/87 at the latest. The living quarters and farm buildings are separated from each other by a wall and each has a separate entrance. The building is made of logs with a kitchen on the side of the mountain slope, a 'palancin' overhanging floor (piguel in Ladin) and a built-in oven on the north facade. The barn area was converted into living quarters in the 20th century.
