Nestled in the hills of the Lechrain, the listed farmhouse Pankraz Burggen embodies a respectful approach to traditional architecture. Its core values: simplicity and naturalness.

On the banks of a small pond, a short distance from the historic farm complex, stands the ‘Backhäusle’ in the heart of the Black Forest. For decades, it served as a functional outbuilding for baking bread. Today, it is a listed building, along with the other buildings of the Sägehof.
