Rechner Cottage Conservation Association

Rechner Cottage Conservation Association in the beautiful Barossa Valley, gives us a glimpse back in time. Looking at it now, you might be surprised (as would its early inhabitants) to know that it is Heritage listed as a site of architectural and cultural significance.

Rechner cottage was built in the mid-1800s, on property owned by GJ Rechner. Although a simple cottage, it shows many techniques brought over from Europe by skilled craftsmen. With living, stable and storage areas all under one roof, it is a rare Australian example of a German Barnhouse.
