history
Brünisberg was probably a village in the Middle Ages, at least that's what documents suggest that a village on the old road from Freiburg to Gifferscall. Later only one manor is mentioned, which - like the aforementioned village - was a fiefdom of the Magerau monastery. The estate had been in the hands of the Appenthel patrician family from Friborg since the 17th century and was sold by Adolphe d'Appenthel to a Paris professor in 1893. On January 2, 1905, the castle and the farmhouse burned down. Only the Schmiedstöckli and the granary survived the fire unscathed and are now a listed building. The farm newly built by the Magerau monastery was also destroyed by flames in 1926. From 1955 hospital nurses settled in Brünisberg and in 1962 they built a motherhouse with a chapel. The farm went into private ownership in 1919.
