It is located at an elevation of 818 meters (2,684 ft) in the Horben-Hochebene near the border with the Canton of Lucerne.

The lower Prince-Abbot Gerold Haimb had the Chapel of St. Wendelin and Ubaldus built in 1730 near the home.

Between 1752 and 1776, during Abbot Bonaventure Bucher's term of office, the house and chapel were rebuilt into their present form.

Initially it belonged, together with the nearby monastery, to the National Councilman Peter Suter from Sins.

From 1885 to 1913 it was owned by District Officer Kaspar Weber of Muri, and since 1913 by the family Borsing.
