history

The Salesianum is located in the district of St. Karl, which was named after St. Charles Borromeo , a papal ambassador. According to a legend, this is said to have crossed Lake Zug in 1570 from the small village of Buonas and entered Zug for the first time at St. Karlshof. The chapel was built in his name in 1615 by Jakob Stocker. In 1637 a replacement building was built by Kaspar Weissenbach.

In the course of time and under the ownership of different owners, the St. Karlshof was enlarged. The property went to councilor Johann Kaspar Lutiger in 1744 , who built the large manor house that still exists today as the first addition to the chapel. Between 1750 and 1769, the complex was expanded to include the central building that connects the chapel with the manor house. In 1840 Peter Zwyssig von Baden bought the property. When the nationalization of monasteries began in the same century , Peter Zwyssig's brother, Alberich Zwyssig , fled from Wettingen monastery to St. Karlshof. During his time at St. Karlshof, he wrote the Swiss Psalm , today's national anthem of Switzerland, in the St. Karl Chapel . In 1846 the St. Karlshof was sold to the commercial teacher Franz Anton Wickard.

In 1898 the property was bought by the Menzing sisters under the management of mother Salesia Strickler . The French-inspired villa and mansion were renamed Salesianum in her honor.

From 1898 to 1970 the institute ran the Salesianum housekeeping school on the estate. From 1970 to 2002 the property continued to serve as a housekeeping school for young women with learning difficulties, and was later rented to the Riverside School . In 2011 the real estate company Alfred Müller AG took over the property. From 2015 to 2018 the property was rented by the Canton of Zug and served as accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers.

The historic property with the chapel and the manor house is a listed building .

architecture

The different buildings were built in different eras. The Salesianum property consists of the Karl Borromeo Chapel (built 1615 or 1637), the Baroque-inspired manor house (built 1750) and the French-inspired central building (built 1750–1769). Changes have been made to the buildings on an ongoing basis since 1750.
