The Bossarthaus , also called Bossartscheune ( Bossartschüür ), is a cultural asset of regional importance and is located in the municipality of Windisch in the canton of Aargau .
Building history and description
The Bossarthaus was first mentioned in 1570 as the property of the Emmisberger family. Around 1668, after the last owner died due to the plague , the Bossarthaus became the property of the Rauber family. From a contract of inheritance from 1695 it emerges: House and farm, including granaries and trotters . Friedrich Rauber (born 1740) made a considerable fortune. He employed two servants, maidservants and journeyman stocking weavers. In 1801, the house was expanded and rebuilt by Friedrich Rauber, giving the eastern part its current appearance.
In 1830 the government council of the canton of Aargau granted permission to run a country wine tavern, and for one year it granted the right to pint. In 1835 the right to run a restaurant followed . In 1880 the restaurant was closed. Around 1910, the western extension with a scooter and grocery store was converted into an apartment, and in 1967 the storage building in the courtyard was torn down. In 1981 the residential wing was rebuilt and expanded, and in 1986 the barn part was rebuilt. The premises of the barn part are used culturally and are also rented out.
architecture
The Bossarthaus is a stately, fully bricked mid- tenn house with a living area, tennis court , feed barn and stable . The continuous, kinked gable roof rests on a rafter roof construction with slips on a double lying chair, which is provided with a hanging column construction because of the considerable span above the barn. At the rear an upper floor arbor extends over both living areas. Under the older one, two vaulted cellars with separate external entrances are laid out across the ridge .
Like all other parts of the house , the corner cuboid enclosing the core building with a crowning capital is made of shell limestone . It is high quality stone carving. The stichbogig cut Fenstergewände with their strong profiled sills give the street-side facade show a late Baroque character. The same applies to the louis seize motifs adorned with arched door walls with a pronounced cornice crowning . An original walnut door leaf has been preserved on the north side, the overlapped panels of which are decorated with typical late Baroque corner motifs. In the younger residential part, the classicist design language with folded rectangular walls and block benches prevailed. It corresponds to the front Biedermeier house doors with diamond decoration.
The front of the barn is dominated by the basket arch gates of the barn and fodder barn. Both have accentuated arch beginners and keystones with a special crown. The keystone of the Tenntor is adorned with the initials "FR" of the builder Friedrich Rauber and the year 1801. Notch-like openings on the upper floor were used to ventilate the hay stage.
The generously designed interior of the house is accessed by a continuous corridor next to the Tenn with a staircase at the rear. According to a widespread scheme, the front building was divided into a living room and an ancillary room, on the upper floor with an additional chamber above the lower corridor. The rear building in the kitchen, with subsequently separated bathroom, and a room. With only minor changes, this room layout has been preserved to this day.
The practically intact late Baroque interior design reveals a wealthy builder. Particularly noteworthy is the former tavern on the upper floor with chiseled wall paneling and panel doors made of walnut wood as well as a beamed ceiling with inserted planks and profiled ceiling moldings. The corridor on the ground floor still has the original shell limestone paving. A wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, where the original brick slab floor has been preserved in the anteroom.
