Daxhaus in Neumarkt an der Raab, Austria

This building named after the family Dax which used to live here is made of mud and roofed with thatch. After founding a kind of artist in residence program in Neumarkt an der Raab (Künstlerdorf) it started to be the first studio for the artists.

Since then a lot of famous writers and artists used to work here. Personally, I was impressed to hear that Peter Handke, H.C. Artmann, Gerhard Roth, Peter Turrini and Ernst Jandl used to write here.
