Above the large gate to the barn belonging to house number 21 in Poštovice is even the year of construction 1901 and a logo with agricultural tools (sheaf, scythe, rake, flail, plow). The whole inscription reads: "At the expense of husband and wife V. and A. Karhan AD 1901".
The barn is a single-storey agricultural building, designed for storage of bulky agricultural products (grain, straw, hay), has a rectangular floor plan with a pair of large gates in the middle of opposite longer sides. The space between the gates used to be used as a threshing floor - a place for threshing grain by hand. The draft between the open gates was used to separate the chaff from the grain. Later, a machine thresher, cutter and other machines with the possibility of drive from a stable engine used to be located here.
