Yes, you’ve guessed it, a Troadkasten!
My apologies if this is misspelt! They’re also know as Getriedkasten, maybe Troad is Lungauerish! A poor region, with many house fires in history. Lessach was burnt down and bits of Tamsweg too – open fires I suppose! The poverty meant that all food was needed. So a remedy was sought. They built a small house near the main building to keep food safe. At first built from wood, people would drill into them and nick the grain inside. So late ones were built of stone. They’re still here and I think are particular to this region. Some are beautifully decorated, some falling down. often with the local motif called the running dog – which I think is Roman, they brighten up the area. There is a tale that the decoration came from a group of artists travelling from Rome to Salzburg who painted their wy there. I don’t know for sure! Another bit of unique Lungau.
