Old cottage Oelixdorf
Cultural monument of the "common people"
The Alte Kate is one of the oldest buildings in Oelixdorf. The barn part was probably built over 300 years ago and later extended to include a pigsty. Two small apartments were added around 1860. One of these apartments has been preserved almost unchanged and is therefore a special testimony to life around 1900. Here you can still clearly see how simple farm workers lived and worked at that time.
In 2005, the building was about to be demolished after 10 years of vacancy. To save it, an association was founded, which took over the cottage in 2007 and is now renovating it step by step. First, the thatched roof and half-timbered walls were renovated, followed by the interior work, which is not yet complete. However, events and projects can already take place in the barn. One of the apartments has also been renovated and can be rented as a vacation home.
Please get in touch via the website if you would like to visit the Alte Kate or stay overnight in the vacation apartment. Overnight stays are also possible for single nights.
