Origin and history

The Outre-Forêt Rural House, located in Kutzenhausen in the Greater East Region, is a typical example of the traditional habitat of this geographical area. This type of construction illustrates the techniques and materials historically used for rural homes, adapted to local resources and the needs of agricultural populations. In the Far East, rural homes played a central role in community life, serving both as housing, as a place of work for agricultural or artisanal activities, and sometimes as a gathering point.

Their architecture often reflected the social and economic organization of the villages, with spaces dedicated to the various domestic and professional functions. These buildings still bear witness to the way of life and ancestral know-how of the region.
