Ballenberg
Berner Oberland farmhouse (17th c.)

The survival of peasant families often depended on an additional income. The large windows of this house illuminated a workshop where boxes were made from wood shavings, small matchboxes which, from the 1860s to the 1910s, represented a financial supplement for the peasants of the region.
