Josef Senoner de Roch from Selva Gardena (born 1886) created this wooden sculpture of a vagabond before moving to Vienna, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts. Senoner had already made wooden toys with his father and later learned to carve wood, amongst other things, at zu Domur workshop. One of the most able sculptors in Val Gardena, Senoner fell in the First World War. 

The building was bought at auction and converted in 1830 by Josef Senoner da Costa, a Val Gardena businessman in Nuremberg. In 1899, Franz Moroder (de Lenèrt) purchased the house and transferred the headquarters of his 'Moroder brothers' company there from Plan de Mureda. He also opened the first bureau de change in Val Gardena in Cësa Costa. The hay barn next door belonging to the old farm site is still in its original state.

In 1908, state teaching activities at Selva technical school for illustrating and modelling received its own premises in Plan da Tieja school building. While the types of school changed over the course of the years, the Habsburg-era building remained until the art school in Selva was closed. It was not until 2013 that it had to give way to today's middle school building.
