The Haus von Prükk House Museum is the result of the conservative restoration of an old house which had maintained its characteristics of nineteenth century Cimbrian farmhouse as it was unchanged over time. Starting from an extremely characteristic building but now in degradation, the house has been restored keeping faith to the original typical Cimbrian house, in all its rooms and furnishings. The building is located in the historic heart of the country and is developed in two separate buildings, both for construction and type, and is structured respectively on three and four levels.
The building in the north appears to have been built around the first half of the 1800s with two interventions. With the first one the basement was built (stalls and cellar) and the first floor and a few years later the building was raised, almost completely assuming the type with which it is presented today. The subsequent works concerned only the wooden wall plugging of the attic, which in the early 1900s was replaced with the same stone structure, and the reconstruction of the covering mantle with zinc sheets, replacing the original larch stele destroyed due to a fire in 1911.
Of the building to the south, however, there is no certain information, presumably was made in the first half of the eighteenth century, since archival research has only been able to ascertain that in 1856 the building had outwardly present features.
Visiting the interior are the furnishings, clothes and objects that represent the endowment of domestic life.
The “Haus von Prükk” is an instrument for the historical memory of Luserna: a museum of popular tradition but also a lively place where the stories of the past in the warm summer evenings can come back to life and be handed down with the genuineness of the past.
