It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

[1] Oberried was built in 1735-6 in the Rococo style for Victor von Fischer (1709-1750), a grandson of the founder of the Fischerpost postal service.

While they held many offices in the city, they only became truly wealthy after Beat Fischer founded his postal business.

Victor's son, Gottlieb Fischer, expanded the estate, building a large ballroom and adding extensive gardens around the house.

In 2000-01 the building was renovated and now hosts cultural events such as concerts, readings, theater and dance recitals.
