s'Grifeneggschlössli

The Greiffeneggschlösschen ( Greiffeneggschlössle ), in the local dialect alema. Grifeneggschlössli ( diminutive ) is a permanent house from 1404 in the old town of Waldshut near the Rhine .

With its loopholes and massive construction, the house proves to be a former part of the city defense on the city wall. Gothic style elements can be found on the windows. Inside it has been given a baroque style . It was named after it was bought by the Tröndlin von Greiffenegg family . Johann Nepomuk Benedikt Tröndlin von Greiffenegg (1724–1796) bought the castle on September 20, 1763 from the Imperial and Royal Chamber and Regimental Councilor of the Austrian Foreland, Josef Sebastian Freiherr von Zweyer , the owner of Willaringen Castle for 2300 guilders. In 1792, Benedict's niece inherited the castle. Maria Magdalena Konstantia Hyazintha geb. Reichmuth (1753–1810, grave in the old cemetery in Waldshut) was married to Anton Fridolin von Hermann (1736–1796).

Since 1945 it has been the studio of the artist Alfred Sachs , a descendant. Today it is rented.
