The reformed rectory in Wangen an der Aare is a protected building in Wangen an der Aare in Switzerland .

history

The oldest parts of today's rectory belonged to the corner tower of the city fortifications from the time of the founding of Wangen in the middle of the 13th century. After the provost of Wangen was destroyed either in the Gugler War (1375) or by Bern in the Burgdorf War (1383), the provost used the defensive tower as a convent building until the Reformation (1528). The walled court area served as a sanctuary , even after the Reformation. Johann Dietrich, the last Benedictine provost of Wangen, was resigned with his wife with a personal property in Bern. The former convent house was set up as a reformed rectory in 1574. In response to a petition from Pastor Anton Herport, then Governor Beat Fischer had the rectory renovated in 1684. Herport wrote: The rooms lack paneling piece by piece, not for decoration, but only to prevent the volatility of the masonry, so that I don't have to forfeit my health by sampling.

On September 30, 2012, the parish of Wangen an der Aare decided to buy the rectory.
