The "Black Kitchen" in Pierreith

A living example of rural architectural culture

The Pierreith House is known far beyond its borders as the "Black Kitchen" – but the name, which refers only to the kitchen, hardly does justice to the historic building.

Dating back to the late 17th century, the house is designed in the form of a classic farmyard and is today considered an impressive testament to rural architecture, craftsmanship, and lifestyle. Particularly striking is the Hergottswinkel (Hergottswinkel) with its crucifix and floral decorations – lovingly decorated on holidays.

The well-thought-out room layout follows a principle of sustainable use: A corridor separated heated from unheated areas. The central open fireplace – both cooking area and oven – warmed both the kitchen and the adjoining living room. Chickens once scratched beneath the hearth, and the bedrooms were located above the stable, where the rising warmth from the cattle and pigs provided a sense of comfort.

Until 2003, the "Schwarze Kuchl" (Black Kitchen) was a popular snack bar and a frequently photographed postcard motif. Today, the building is available as a research object for those interested in architecture and local history.

The "Schwarze Kuchl" (Black Kitchen) dates back to 1690 and is built in pre-Alpine log construction. It remains in its original condition today, with an open fireplace.
