Stahlihaus
The Stählihaus in Netstal , which was built in 1728 and is now a listed building, is one of the few half-timbered houses that are based on the old carpentry that was brought to the Glarnerland from the area around Lake Zurich and that reveals the framework.
Warm wooden beams are woven into the white wall surfaces so that many figures emerge from them. With the exception of the St. Andrew's cross, not a single figure is repeated . There are also symmetrically inlaid rows of windows which, together with the drawer beneath the windows, are combined by simply jagged frames. The white, arabesque painting of the soffits of the gable-shaped roof is also unusual. On the gable is the Constantinian inscription IHS , in this symbol Siege!
The builders of the house can be determined with some certainty. The work of the main families of the canton Glarus notes: “Several representatives of the Netstaler Stähli held higher state offices, for example Christian (1685–1747), who built the Stählihaus with his brother Johannes (1698–1765).” The Swiss Gender Register is similar: “ Several representatives of the Netstaler Stähli held higher state offices, such as Christian Stähli (1695–1747) as councilor, nine-builder and governor of Wil, who built the Stählihaus with his brother, Seckelmeister and nine-builder Johannes (1698-1765).
