Custom pieces
Stone carvings in Obernkirchen have a thousand-year tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Cut stones

Fireplaces and stoves
Fireplaces and stoves are spaces to light a fire in the house for heating living areas.
Floor plates
Sandstone floor coverings are timeless. Generally, sandstone is considered open-pored and soft; worn down steps and well-sanded surfaces are a frequent occurrence.
Fountains
Fountains were indispensable to the water supply of cities and settlements in the time before the installation of water pipes.
Spheres
The sphere is a classic yet timeless form. In architecture it serves as decoration on rooftops or at the foot of the stairs, in gardens and landscaping, as an ornament in flowerbeds or as a design element.
Staircases
Stairs are levels that go up or down to enable a comfortable and slip-resistant way to overcome height differences.
