The former farmhouse is located in the uppermost part of the Burggasse in Muttenz and, together with the farmhouses opposite, closes off the old village center of Muttenz in this direction. It seems that the house was built in the 18th century. The living quarters were adjoined by a barn and a goat pen in the back.The house corresponds in every respect to a small farmer's house or "Taunerhaus", but it entails a reduction of the Muttenz small farmer's house in that the stable was in the back part of the barn and not next to it and was only used for two or three goats. This type of small farmhouse on the outskirts of the village is relatively rare to find. The goat farmer's house on Burggasse has remained completely intact and is unique, even within the village center of Muttenz, which is rich in farmhouse types.
