This barn was built in 1777 in Hejsager near Haderslev. Built to a method dating right back to the Middle Ages, the barn is half-timbered, the wall panels being enclosed by very wide 2-inch thick oak boles placed in grooves on either side of the supporting posts.

Royal decrees of 1554 and 1577 aimed to stop this method of construction as it required large quantities of oak. The construction was particularly common in southeast Jutland where it continued into the 1800s
