Ballenberg
Berner Oberland alpine chalet (16th c.)

Few alpine chalets have survived during centuries. This chalet in Axalp, above Brienz (Berner Oberland), was built in 1520, half a millennium ago. It had only an open fireplace for the cauldron, tools for milking, cheese-making and wood-cutting, and a small room under the roof.
