| he farmhouses typical of Upper Styria are the Paarhof and Streckhof types. In both types, the living quarters are located in a separate building from the barn.
The Paarhof consists of two double-storey buildings which are almost identical on the outside. In the Haufenhof type, there are several different buildings of different sizes. The living quarters are located in one of the houses; the others are farm buildings, separated according to their functions.
