history

The Acherhof was built around 1590 by Landammann Ulrich Auf der Maur-Büeler. Already in 1636 his son, the governor and captain Johann Agidius Auf der Maur-Ab Yberg (1588-1644), sold to the governor and sergeant Wolf Dietrich Reding-Hässi (1593-1687). The paneling room, which was sold to the Basel Historical Museum in 1893, was designed under Reding . Today it is installed in the Hotel Wysses Rössli in Schwyz as a loan.

Around 1740 the Reding family sold the farm to the breakdown owner Alois Werner Graf von Weber . The Weber family subsequently also used the name of Acher / vom Acher in some cases . Alois Werner von Weber had a new staircase installed and around 1750 the courtyard was converted into a traditional mansion in the form of a stately farmhouse and the courtyard situation with the gate, the ornate fountain and the magnificent main portal. In addition, an extension with a staircase, garden hall and a house chapel was built on the east side. The stucco in the rooms was created by the Tyroleans Johann Georg Scharpf and Anton Klotz, who also worked on the design of the parish church of St. Martin . Subsequently, interventions were only made to adapt the premises to the needs of the time.

1802 sold the property to the clerk of the canton Joachim Hediger-Müller (1774–1828) before it was taken over in 1825 by the governor Karl von Zay . The other owners were the von Hettlingen family, from 1919 the painter Hans Beat Wieland . The courtyard was renovated under Wieland, and a new building with an apartment and a studio was added to the ensemble. In 1931, Father Felizian Bessmer acquired the area. On November 29, 1931, the Acherhof Retirement Home Association was founded and a retirement home was founded. The association was replaced by the Schwyz Third Order in 1934 and a foundation in 1937. During this time, the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross from Ingenbohl Monastery took over care, and in 1947 the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Maria Hilf . In 1954 the independent church foundation Acherhof took over the farm, from which the foundation Acherhof emerged in 2014 .

In 2017, the citizens of Schwyz voted for major renovations and new construction measures on the site. These are not yet completed.
