Granary

This red painted building is an older version of the 'granary', once used for storing grains and dry goods through the winter. The red colours are 'traditional', I have recently also seen pictures of similar architecture from Norway.

Behind the Canadian flag you can see the 'summer kitchen' of the old Prochnau farm. It was built for the stated purpose and my grandmother used to spend long hours in its confines. It was also used for a separate accomodation on at least one occasion.
