Campagne flower courtyard
The Campagne Blumenhof is a country estate in the municipality of Kehrsatz in the canton of Bern .
history
The Campagne Blumenhof was originally a late-Gothic autumn house from the end of the 16th century, which was redesigned in Baroque style by Niklaus Emanuel Tscharner in 1752 by adding an annex to the original building on both sides of the mountain and valley. The flower courtyard was rebuilt several times in the 19th and 20th centuries and ended as a speculative object until the municipality of Kehrsatz acquired the country estate in 1983 and reconstructed it between 1988 and 1990 and has since used it as the seat of the municipal administration
Tscharner's exemplary farm was a magnet for many educational travelers of his time. Sophie La Roche was one of his guests, as was Duke Carl August von Sachsen-Weimar , who was accompanied by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe on his trip to Switzerland in 1779 .
