Ralligen estate, Manor house in Sigriswil, Switzerland.

The Ralligen estate is a manor house in the village of Merligen, part of the municipality of Sigriswil on Lake Thun in the canton of Bern. Its documented history reaches back to the 14th century, when it was used as a wine estate by Interlaken Monastery. Since 1976 it has belonged to the evangelical Christusträger community and serves as a guesthouse for holidays and retreats.

The estate dates back to the 14th century, when it was used as a vineyard property by the monastery of Interlaken. After the Reformation was introduced in 1528, it belonged mostly to Bernese patricians or citizens of Thun until the 19th century. The Bernese merchant G. Christen then bought and renovated it, and it housed a domestic science school for decades. Since 1976 it has belonged to the Protestant Christusträger community and serves as a guesthouse for holidays and retreats.

The name Ralligen is tied to the hamlet in Merligen where the estate stands above Lake Thun. Since 1976 the property has belonged to the evangelical Christusträger community, which runs it as a guesthouse for holidays and retreats. Visitors encounter a working religious community rather than a museum.

The estate lies in the village of Merligen, part of the municipality of Sigriswil on Lake Thun. It is served by bus line 21 of the STI transport company, which replaced the Thun–Beatenbucht trolleybus that ran from 1952 to 1982. From 1913 to 1952 the Steffisburg–Thun–Interlaken tram also stopped at Ralligen. Since 1976 the property has been run by the Christusträger community as a guesthouse for holidays and retreats.

The estate sits right by a stop of bus line 21 of the STI transport company. That line replaced the Thun–Beatenbucht trolleybus, which ran from 1952 to 1982, and before it the Steffisburg–Thun–Interlaken tramway served the same stretch from 1913 to 1952, also stopping at Gut Ralligen.
