[1] The manor house was built around 1736-39 for head postmaster Beat Fischer by the architect Albrecht Stürler in a late Baroque style.

His widow then sold the estate in 1788 to their son in law, Friedrich Heinrich von Stürler.

The castle remained in the von Stürler family for over two hundred years.

During World War II, from 1939 until 1941 it served as the headquarters and official residence for the Swiss General Henri Guisan.

In 2000, the von Stürler family sold the castle to a businessman, Willy Michel, who restored the building.
