      Construction diary schoolhouse UnterheidStep by step: the schoolhouse is dismantled

      Work on dismantling the schoolhouse in Unterheid near Meiringen (BE) is proceeding at pace. Over the last few weeks, both the top floor and the second floor have been removed. Some interesting discoveries were made along the way: a drawing on a piece of wood and indications that the windows had been replaced at some stage and the jetty expanded in later years. This demonstrates that even in 1830, those working on the structure were professionals who understood their craft. Thanks to the digital twin, you can now embark on your own digital tour of the schoolhouse.
