Why visit
The Pfrundbauten are valuable because they preserve the scale and texture of an older Eschen within a municipality that has grown substantially. The white historic building, timber details and neighbouring church create a coherent parish setting rather than an isolated monument. A short visit can be combined with the village centre and onward travel to Mauren, Bendern or Schellenberg, making the site a good architectural marker within a broader exploration of the northern municipalities.
What you will see
- Historic benefice building.
- Parish church setting.

History
The buildings are connected with the historic parish and benefice arrangements of Eschen and developed over several periods. Their continued preservation keeps an important part of the village’s ecclesiastical and domestic building history visible beside the parish church.
Visitor tips
- 1
Allow time for the surrounding village, landscape or historic streets where these form part of the site context.
