Regional Museum Zell

The Ental farm was built in Burgstall/Schwendau in 1713 (as shown by the date on the Firstbaum – a part of the roof). In 1991, in order to preserve and secure this culturally precious centuries-old structure, it was decided to transfer the farm from its original location and rebuild it in Zell am Ziller, where it has been turned into a museum.
