    	<description><![CDATA[Wiss Emporium c.1909 and Wiss Cottage c.1890 are the only two buildings that remain in this historic precinct, a once vast enterprise of the Wiss Family. The Wiss Emporium, built in 1909 for Lionel Ainger Wiss of the Wiss Bros, would have been one of the most used and important commercial buildings in the Fassifern District, was known as being one of the largest and best country stores in Queensland - a Universal Providers. These relics from the past have now been saved from destruction, been partially restored with work ongoing, are now heritage-listed, well-loved and much valued buildings by the locals and the many visiting tourists. Located at Kalbar, which when first settled by German pioneers in the 1870's was originally called Engelsburg, in the Scenic Rim Region, a world-heritage listed area within South-East Queensland. The Wiss Emporium has been and still is almost invariably used as a drawcard to encourage tourists and visitors to the area. It is now open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as a boutique and fine arts exhibition gallery. The Cottage remains as its original purpose: a private home.]]></description>
