Drive
Treib is a small town and a stop for steamboats on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland . The Treib belongs to the higher-lying community of Seelisberg , with which it is connected by the Treib-Seelisberg funicular and a narrow road.
In order to offer protection from the stormy foehn on the southernmost basin of Lake Lucerne, the Urnersee , a protective harbor was established on the Treib in the early Middle Ages. The Treib also served as neutral territory for the persecuted; they were allowed to stay there for three days without being arrested.
Tavern to the Treib
In 1482 the Haus zur Treib was first mentioned, in which the old five places of the Old Confederation held 72 daily statutes . The house burned down in the winter of 1657/58. In 1658 a new building was built, which remained almost unchanged until the beginning of the 20th century. The condition of the house at that time was so bad that it was feared that it would collapse. In 1903 the building was canceled and replaced by a new building, with facade elements being reused whenever possible. These are the decorative boards of the windows and shutters, the carnies above the lintels and the roof tiles.
The house is owned by the community of Seelisberg and is a listed building. The old meeting room can be visited.
