Landhaus Kapf
The Landhaus Kapf is a listed baroque residential building in the village of Althäuser, which belongs to the municipality of Aristau in the canton of Aargau .
Plazidus Zurlauben , abbot of the Muri monastery , had a trot built on the hill to the west of old houses in 1687 for the price of 2203 guilders . She also owned some rooms for the monks to relax. Prince Abbot Gerold Haimb had the house restored and refurbished in 1736, for which he spent 7451 guilders. In the 19th century the house served as a farm, at the beginning of the 20th century the former big game hunter Walter Burkart ran a restaurant there. His daughter, the writer Erika Burkart , spent most of her life there; her husband Ernst Halter still lives there today. The artist and drawing teacher Josef Jakob Reber also lived there.
The building with two three axes has a bricked ground floor and a main floor with half-timbering . The portal in the west is decorated with the coat of arms of Prince Abbot Gerold Haimb. The stairs, floors and door frames inside date from 1736. Wallpaper paintings with tree motifs in two rooms on the main floor date from the same period.
