For many years now we have had a small Dutch style weather house in our bookcase and the inhabitants of this little house really have become a part of our family. If its a good day the woman will come out and if the Dutch summer turns wet the man has his umbrella ready as he moves out of his door.

Originally many weather houses were made in Germany and Switzerland and styled in the Schwarzwald look. The Netherlands have their own selection and you can find many interesting examples of Dutch styled weather houses in the "Weatherhouses and Birdhouses" category.
