Glogghüs

Glogghüs is a Swiss German word, primarily used in the canton of Bern, that refers to a small, often isolated, wooden building or structure, typically used for grain storage. These structures are usually elevated on pillars or stones (often with rodent guards) to protect the grain from moisture and pests. While the term is most commonly associated with grain storage, similar structures might also be used for storing other agricultural products or tools. The word implies a simple, functional building rather than a dwelling. The architectural style is often rustic and practical, reflecting its purpose and rural setting.
