History  

We hadn't actually planned a Moormann lodge. However after the Moormann company acquired a plot of land adjacent to our base with the intention of building a warehouse, a dilapidated, listed historical building came as part and parcel. The construction - dating back to 1671 as home to the 'Village bakery', later became the Court bakery for the castle residents and delivered to the neighbouring castle on the mountain, and later still became an inn and following that a youth hostel - was so in need of repair that it wouldn't have survived the imminent, mountainous winter conditions without emergency roof repairs. This promised to be the start of a new project: A new roof only makes sense when the attic is in sound condition. An attic requires storeys, which can support its weight and so on and so on. Firstly the historical structure had to be ascertained and exposed, while ensuring that as much of the original substance of the building as possible remains intact.
