Jens Jensen built this large brick barn near Ringsted in 1936. He built his 41-foot-tall clay block barn close to the road, making it a local landmark. Leroy Jensen is the fourth generation to own the barn. It has a sliding door for putting in hay, and a litter carrier for removing manure. Now it is used for storage. (Award of Distinction).
