The yellow house on Hauptstrasse


There are several yellow houses on Hauptstrasse, but this one is positioned in a particularly noticeable way. The view here is similar to that in this March 2006 photo (the shrubbery in the foreground has been removed since the photo was taken). (Map)

Can you see the white lettering on the slope just behind the yellow house? We'll see it again as we walk further into Villigen. It reads kartoffel.ch and is an ad for the Swiss potato promotion board. The website (in German and French) has recipes and information about the different varieties grown here.

Stunning photo as usual!

To asnwer your question, my friend did not buy this apartment in the photo. The asking price for the one-bedroom apartment was US$279,000. Also, the kitchen needed some major updating because it was last renovated in the 1960s. It still has an old, old stove, no dishwasher, no counter top, etc.

A nice pic and a nice house. Does the land on the hill belong to the house owner? Whats at the top of the hill? Some rocks or limestone? Thanks for visiting Toruń DP!

This is an unusual photograph that captures the house and seems to minimize everthing else.
