This former farmworker’s house is located in the historic center of the mound village of Groothusen. <br>This building can already be seen on the village map from 1870. Several generations of the Janhsen farmworker family lived here as an extended family. Pigs and sheep were also raised here. The garden was used exclusively for growing vegetables.
