Hiking

The chances of you wanting to live in a barn are slim. But perhaps it's different with this former barn dating from 1745, which was converted into a house in 1916. The building is located directly across from the driveway of Hillenraad Castle. The curved facade was designed by Count Herman Wolff Metternich at the request of his wife. And you might not be surprised that this house is now a Limburg heritage site when you see it.
