Wildt’sche Haus, Residential palace in Petersplatz, Switzerland.
The Wildt'sche Haus features four large salons across two floors, decorated with painted canvas wallpaper, gilded paintings, and intricate stuccoes throughout the interior.
Built between 1762 and 1764 by architect Johann Jacob Fechter for silk ribbon manufacturer Jeremias Wildt-Socin, marking the prosperity of Basel's textile industry.
The building contains artworks from notable craftsmen, including mirrors and fireplace casings created by Bernese sculptor Johann Friedrich Funk in the eighteenth century.
The Wildt'sche Haus Foundation now manages the building at Petersplatz 13, offering spaces for events organized by Basel government, university, and private functions.
The residence houses tiled stoves from the Fayence factory Frisching in Bern, dating specifically to 1776 and 1777, preserved in their original condition.
