Villa Lenert
Ecclesiastical sculptural art for four generations
Franz Moroder de Plan de Mureda extended little Lenért farmhouse and set up production of ecclesiastical art as a new branch of the 'Moroder brothers' company. In 1906, he purchased an art school in Offenburg, which was managed by his sons, Eduard and Rudolf. Pre-1914, there were up to 40 artisans working at Lenért and Offenburg at times. His grandson, Norbert, is said to have carried on carving wood in this historical workshop before it closed down a few years ago.
