It was built in 1901 and is made of wood and stone.
The ecological technologies that are used in this house include: solar-thermal collectors – these use solar energy to heat water and provide hot water from spring to autumn (around 6 months). One flat collector (one metre by two metres) heats 80 to 100 litres of water – the amount that can be accumulated in an average boiler.
The participants in workshops will have an opportunity to taste and learn how to prepare:

The wastewater from the house goes into three septic tanks. After it is treated mechanically, it is drawn out of the septic tanks with a transportation mechanism into a biozone. This contains slowly rotating biodisks, on which a biomass of micro-organisms live. It is there that the actual treatment process takes place. The treated wastewater (the second class of purity) is released from the treatment tank through a tilted overflow. Purified and oxygenated, it flows into a small pond in which fish live and various waterplants grow.

The ECOCENTRE’s most recent building in which various meetings take place. It is an energy-saving building whose walls are made of clay and straw. A high-efficiency biomass stove is used to heat it. Energy is generated by pv modules, and water is heated by solar thermal collectors.
