The oldest part of the village was built as awatch tower of Pierle castle near the XIII century. This castle was a very important fortress for Pierle valley and now it is a very important sign of thehistory valley. The watch tower basis was chiselled in the rock and you can still see this hard work in the wall of the cellar. During the time the tower became afarm house and the owner added other rooms so the house "grew". The last part was bulit in the 1922 and it is our house.The house restored is the rear of the village and since some years ago one part was the house of the last farm worker.
