The Alte Schuelhüsli is a former school building in Windisch in the canton of Aargau . It is a Swiss cultural asset of regional importance and is located in Mitteldorf at Dorfstrasse 29. Before that, there was an ossuary chapel , which was incorporated into the schoolhouse around 1790. The building has been owned by the community since 1815, today the community of Windisch.
Building
It is a three-storey wall construction with a straight gable roof . The folded rectangular windows with strongly profiled cornices are made of local shell limestone . The angled protruding staircase on the western side of the eaves was probably added in the course of the 19th century. In addition to the façades, the roof structure - a purlin roof on a reclining chair - was retained.
Building history
The pre-Reformation charnel house chapel on the site of the later schoolhouse was built in the 15th and 16th centuries. Century built; In 1790/1793 it was converted into a schoolhouse by the schoolmaster, tax master and choir judge Johannes Rauber . He did the renovation at his own expense. Rauber later received the former schoolhouse - located between the ossuary and the Bossarthaus - as property. This so-called Raubergüetli was replaced by the new parish hall in 1955. The old Schuelhüsli was also used as a fire station and military accommodation at times. During the renovation in 1987/88, new floor slabs were created. As part of this work, the Aargau cantonal archeology documented the remains of the ossuary. This two-story chapel probably opened onto the cemetery with arcades to the north and east. This limited the anteroom on the ground floor, which housed the ossuary set in the floor , where the excavated bones of the deceased were kept. On the upper floor of the ossuary was the prayer room, which was decorated with wall paintings - a bobble ribbon with black flowers.
