Historical Craftsmanship
Traditional Fences
Fences are an important element of our cultural landscape; they are a part of our identity. They belong to the oldest testimonies of rural culture and express rights, ownership relations, and methods of economy. Fences shape the face of our country. They create a kind of structure in the cultural landscape and therefore provide a sense of security to the viewer. They are a tradition that has grown and been lived over centuries. They are the work of our hands – craftsmanship. Fences define boundaries and protect; they preserve and safeguard.
The establishment of historical fence designs aims to revive the old tradition of fence building, preserve the knowledge of craftsmanship, emphasize the rural character of our village, and gain significance as a shaping element in the landscape once again.
The historical fence designs that will be erected in Mösern are intended to be more than mere display pieces. They are genuinely needed by the landowners and have been constructed as a collaborative project involving the landowners, the tourism association of the Seefeld region, and the association for homeland protection and preservation in North and East Tyrol.
