... while the boys were fixing a boar-plowed meadow, I rummaged around the woods and found this old farmstead, abandoned after a fire. Back in the day, in school, we were encouraged to sketch out the layout, the interesting details, try to guess who lived here, what did they do, what happened, why was the place not restored ... The main building was too damaged and overgrown to measure (if you didn't have the measuring tape, you were supposed to kind of use your feet one in front of another to get the basic distances), but the secondary domicile was padlocked and better preserved. Still, 30 years in this climate is too long for any building to remain once the vines take off the roof and the roof gives.

| Bars on the windows were slightly decorative. Both the fact there were bars and that they were nice indicates better off housing. |
 |
| I don't know yet what this was, some kind of strain or press, either for carpenter work or making barrels? |
 |
| Melted bottles indicate fire. You see them often in ruins. |
 |
| The second building. |
 |
| A very nice door on the second building. |

| Remains of the wine press. |
 |
| Remains of the large barrels (500 liters?) |
