Been to Switzerland quite a few times, spent numerous weekends and long holidays at various places across the country, but have never encountered any of these. 
I don’t mean they’re not Swiss, the variety of architectures is large there, some valleys being immune from influences from others, it could be some place I still need to discover.. 
But I’d be curious to see one such there, or at least to know where to find one :-)

Amities
Philippe, now on the lookout for round barns ;-)

While I had a Leica IIIa and should have taken photos, I did not.  To the best of my knowledge, the barns are all gone now.  Years later, I found that talented pencil artist Don Northcutt had captured one, and I have one of his prints, framed in weathered "barn wood".  I have several of Don's prints, but the barn is a standout.
