About this work
Mäusescheune, Rödder, Kirchspiel, Dülmen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany The mouse barn in the Rödder hamlet is a field barn. It stands entirely on striking pyramid-shaped stone bases with protruding collars. The bases provide protection against rodents such as mice and rising ground moisture. Typical of this type of construction is the wooden framework, known as half-timbering. However, the centrally located barn door is unusual. The barn, popularly known as the mouse barn, was probably built at the beginning of the 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century, the roof truss burned down and was replaced. This is why the year of construction is often mistakenly given as 1924.
