Grub rectory, Clergy house in Grub, Switzerland
The Grub rectory is a 1786 building at Dorf 71, just south of the Reformed church. It faces the street gable-first, with a masonry ground floor and timber upper storeys under a large curved, keel-arched saddle roof with plastered eaves and gable coves. The east facade has five rows of windows, and a three-bay coach house now serves as the fire-engine shed.
The rectory was built in 1786, as recorded in the keystone of its round-arched front portal, which also bears the Greek letters Sigma and Theta for the motto 'Behüt es Gott' and a G for Gruben. The portal itself was renewed in artificial stone in 1957. The building stands south of the Reformed church of Grub and is listed as a municipal cultural property (C object).
The rectory stands just south of the Reformed church, and its 1957-renewed sandstone front portal carries the Greek letters Sigma and Theta for "Behüt es Gott" (God protect it), the year 1786 and a G for Gruben. The attached three-bay remise now serves the village as a fire-engine house, so the former clergy residence still has a communal role.
This is an active residential building still used by the parish clergy and serves as a working center for parish functions. Visitors can observe the structure from outside in the village center, but should respect its status as a private, occupied residence.
