Black Forest Weather House

This folk art weather house is nostalgic childhood favorite of many. When the Frau appears outside her chalet, expect fair weather; when her husband comes out, watch for rain! The secret is a hygrometer hidden inside.

  • Alpine chalet-styled weather house is a simple barometer
  • Hang on the wall or display on a table

        I purchased this item when it was on sale. I had been wanting one for quite sometime. My advice to buyers is that it can only be adjusted once upon arrival. Don't allow children to play with it so hang it high indoors!
        Once I adjusted it upon arrival, it has been predicting the weather for me ever since. Ahead of time!

        This is the perfect gift for someone that has everything. I gave this weatherhouse to two different people for the holidays, and the first person has already opened up her gifts, and she loved it, as well as the friends that saw her open her gifts. This weatherhouse is made of top quality, and is so attractive.

            I requested a weather house for Christmas and was almost ready to send it back because it wasn't doing anything after I had adjusted it a few times. It took many tries, and then the weather house started working and has worked perfectly ever since! I think it takes awhile for the mechanism to "cure" and start registering the humidity. So, my advice is, don't give up. It took at least six months for my weather house to get up and running, and the little man and woman have been popping in and out as they are supposed to, ever since. I love it! I especially like the design, too, because it doesn't have one of those hokey plastic thermometers glued to the front like other weather houses I've seen.

              I set it up and I am not sure it is working. The lady has been out the entire time and we have had a couple snowstorms.

              My mother loved it as her father use to make them back in the 1930's.

                  The weather house was set on Christmas and 10 days later nothing has changed.
                  We have had mixed weather. It is inside on a windowsill.
                  Was it meant for outdoors? That would not be advisable in Ohio.

                      [...] We were so disappointed in the cheap construction and appearance of this item, that last minute shopping was required for replacement gifts for both people.
