Description
History comes to life at this traditional farmstead, which is some 250 years old. It is a Vierseithof, a regular courtyard plan steading with buildings surrounding the yard on all four sides. This authentic smallholding with its fully preserved furnishings opens a door on to the past. At Markersdorf Village Museum, the only professionally run open-air agricultural museum in Görlitz district, visitors not only experience the historical ambience, they also encounter the steading’s living occupants ... not least Jamal, the farm’s resident tomcat.
