Few houses in the Oberland can rival the abundance of painting and carving that can be seen here!

Built in 1757 by David Lörtscher, constable and carpenter, and his wife Susanna Karlen “for the benefit of themselves and posterity”. Renovated in 1976. Lower-floor wall panels replaced in the 19^th or early 20^th century. Few houses in the Oberland can rival the abundance of painting and carving that can be seen here! The paintings, probably by Stefan Allenbach, are already in the later Simmental style (picturesque approach, particular motifs such as panels with inscriptions, shells, cartouches, etc.; based on urban bourgeois decorative painting). Stefan Allenbach also worked on the Haus auf dem Büel in Oberwil (see Simmentaler House Trail, Wimmis – Boltigen, No. 26). Exceptional carvings like a braided frieze on the lower-floor truss further enliven the façade. On the front of the upper floor are two strips of elaborately notched Gothic script. The exuberantly decorated façade is spanned by a sky painted on the underside of the roof, complete with sun, moon and stars.
