Barn conversions can be magical places to live, with beautiful old timbers, soaring spaces, and the sense of history that you just don't get with a new self build. But they're also notorious for being expensive, complicated, and full of nasty surprises that even seasoned developers underestimate. If you're considering taking on a barn, it's worth knowing the warning signs that might mean the project simply isn't viable.

The initial situation before the conversion was a historic farmstead in the area north of the Danube. The existing ensemble is characterized by two separate building parts: a courtyard area, which was formerly used as living space, and an inn in the house floor (now disused), and an old barn, which had initially served as a pigsty since the 1970s and later as a partially rented area.
