!!!Kitting

Kitting (also called "Kasten"), small building or loft used by a 
farmer for storing grain; with a wooden pointed barrel vault and with 
a thick protective layer of clay on the outside; a "kitting" has a 
special kind of thatched roof which can be pushed off in case of fire; 
it can be a separate building or an annex to the farmhouse. Kittings 
are rare but can still be found occasionally in southern Burgenland 
and in the open-air museums of Bad Tatzmannsdorf, Gerersdorf near 
Guessing and Stinatz.
