Ballenberg
Upper Wallis dwelling (16th c.)

This house from Blatten (Lötschental, Wallis) was built in 1568. It is one of the last with all the characteristics of the Alpine dwellings of the late Middle Ages. At the beginning of the 21st century, there were still about 30 such houses in the Lötschental, some of which had been built between 1410 and 1530.
