Aristauerhof
The Aristauerhof (also called Stierlihaus ) is a restaurant in Aristau in the canton of Aargau . The building in the early classical style is under cantonal monument protection and is located directly next to the Johanneskapelle .
At the location of the Aristauerhof there was a small castle in the Middle Ages that was owned by the Lords of Baar and destroyed by the Confederates in 1386 during the Sempach War . Heinrich Stierli had the existing building built in 1797 and opened a restaurant in it. A restoration took place in 1969. Twenty years later the garden restaurant was rebuilt with a pavilion, as was an entrance with stairs on the south facade. The restaurant is currently closed (2012), only the rooms are rented.
The Aristauerhof is a typical representative of rural classicism. It presents itself as a strict, plastered cube building with 3 × 3 axes under a mansard roof . The entrance portal on the west facade is adorned with Heinrich Stierli's coat of arms, which shows a bull's head. The banisters with balusters and a blue-painted stove from 1837 have been preserved from the interior .
