history

In 1257 the area around Holligen was mentioned for the first time as Hollant . The name comes from an estate Holland or Hollanden with a pond (filled in 1690) and a mill. It belonged to the Teutonic Order House in Köniz.

Berchtold Buweli had the predecessor of Holligen Castle (probably a castle) built from 1312 to 1333 . The oldest part of today's facility is the Donjon , built around 1500 on behalf of the Bernese mayor Wilhelm von Diesbach .

The residential area in the common quarter consists of terraced houses on the left and right of Schlosstrasse to Huberstrasse, which are relatively symmetrical in a north-south direction. To the right of Huberstrasse is the castle park with allotment gardens. In the north these were redesigned into the new development area Huebergass , where 100 new apartments are being built.
