History+
The origins of the residential stable house are closely linked to the Cistercian Waldsassen Abbey, which for centuries exerted significant influence on the development of the Upper Palatinate. As part of a three-sided farm, the building served agricultural purposes and provided shelter for people and animals, which was typical for monastic estate management. It reflects the economic structure that monasteries established for self-sufficiency and the cultivation of their lands.
