Tscharnerhaus (Herrengasse 4)
The Tscharnerhaus is a residential building at Herrengasse 4 in the old town of Bern , Switzerland .
history
From 1756 to 1764, on behalf of Abraham Ahasver von Tscharner, the two old houses at Herrengasse 4 were demolished and probably replaced by today's building by Niklaus Sprüngli .
architecture
The front of the house dominates with its protrusion of the facade in front of the house next door the west side with a monumental space effect. It shows a strictly disciplined play of window groups , belt arches and pilasters , which results in a tripartite division of the main front. The facade decor with portal consoles , garlands on the risalit and the gable field form the only pure régence ensemble in Bern. The cartouche in the triangular gable is crowned with the Tscharner coat of arms and two stylized griffins as shield holders.
On the three upper floors, all rooms face the Münsterplatz or Herrengasse, so they are well sunlit. In the house there is an original layout based on Stürler's southeast corner salon on the 2nd floor with walnut paneling , the chambre de parade , there is also the stove with blue landscapes on a white background, dated 1766 and signed by the tile painter Peter Gnehm from Stein am Rhein .
