That I don't know, but if you would have looked in through that window a century ago you would probably have spotted a few pigs as this is an old pigsty. Or a bunch of hens, as it was also used as a hen-house back then. The picturesque old building is owned by Anna-Greta, the knitter that you met a week ago. All this was news to me as I had always thought this little cottage to be just that, an old cottage, and a bit older. But it sure looks good in this winter setting. Anna-Greta told me that one hundred years ago it was a very modern pigsty with a working drainage system and with a concrete wall between the pigsty and hen-house areas. Live and learn.

Nice shots and wonderful story.
It's amazing what a pigsty can become with a little care. That person in the window is my 1st grade teacher!
Fun, and a great set of photos. Love the story. Boy, that Jacob sure gets around!
Unique!.
You really have EYES!
Thanks for sharing! It`s FUN, and I like it!
I love the "person" in the window. It could be used as a prop to a scary story. Wonderful.
Charming. A real silk purse of a place.
Wow! I really really Love the House! Your post is absolutely Great! The snow on the house is Phenomenal! The White looks really great on the Red and Navy! Very Ralph Lauren!
Greetings from Cavite Daily Photo, Philippines!
Steven^^
Both pictures are great! I think the piggy in my post today would like to live in that cute place.
The "face" is a little spooky - but the story of the pigsty is amusing! How is it being used? I'm sure it would make a nice studio (without the pigs, of course!)

I would have thought it would take more than a hundred years to get the smell out! She must have hung one of those little tree air fresheners up.
So much history in the buildings you show us Steffe.
Thanks for visiting my blog, Steffe.
Love this. It’s a scene befitting a fairytale. A nice one. :)
It really looks like a face, a funny face...
Love this shot...the red trim of the house and the pines behind it. :)
These two images are stunning. The first, almost a painting. Wonderful.I love what you eye sees, Steffe.
Thanks all. I think I have a few more photos from Vadet, and i might post those soon.
