Hofstatt Ital Reding, Manor house in Schwyz, Switzerland.
Hofstatt Ital Reding is a manor house located at Rickenbachstrasse 24 featuring stone walls and wooden structural elements typical of 17th-century construction. The building displays the layout and design methods common to residences of that era.
This manor was constructed in 1609 as a residence for the Swiss gentry of that period. Its survival across four centuries demonstrates the importance of such buildings within regional history.
The estate is named after its builder, Ital Reding, a Landvogt and Pannerherr of the Schwyz family of the same name. The main house now serves as a museum and event venue, while the former economy building has housed the Schwyz Cantonal Library since 1986. The grounds also include the Haus Betlehem, built in 1287.
The site is accessible only through pre-arranged guided tours, so advance booking is necessary before visiting. The property is located in Schwyz and full information can be found on the official website.
The estate also includes the Haus Betlehem, built in 1287, which predates the manor house by more than three centuries. Since 1986 a former farm building on the grounds has housed the Schwyz cantonal library.
