Aargau day labourer´s house (19th c.)

The house is of the same type as the large peasant farmhouse next door, only smaller, with cramped rooms and low ceilings. The owner was a poor farmer who tended orchards and plantations and also worked as a day labourer, helping in the summer with haymaking and doing forestry work in the winter. This poverty has meant that the house has never been modernised in any way and is of rare authenticity.
