Muraltengut, Late Baroque manor house in Zürich, Switzerland

Muraltengut is a late Baroque manor house in Zurich featuring Italian Renaissance elements, built between 1777 and 1782. The estate includes symmetrical staircases, expansive lawns, and carefully landscaped gardens with water features.

Johannes Werdmüller (1725–1801), the city's building commissioner, erected the summer residence between 1777 and 1782 to his own designs, using novel construction machines after critics said he knew nothing of building. In 1825 the property passed to mayor Hans Konrad von Muralt, who gave it its present name. Martin Bodmer bought it in 1924 and saved it from demolition; the city of Zurich has owned it since 1944.

The name comes from mayor Hans Konrad von Muralt, who acquired the property in 1825. In Werdmüller's day the salon hosted discussions of Enlightenment ideas, and he reportedly carried a Voltaire book under his arm on Sundays. Today the house serves the Zurich city council for official receptions; the park, unlike the building, is open to the public.

The park is open to the public, but the manor itself is not: it serves the Zurich city council for representation and is not open for tours. The former lakeshore is marked today by a line of clipped linden trees, and the park holds a rose garden with over 5,000 rose bushes.

The house was cut off from Lake Zurich in 1900 by the railway line and lakeside landfill; a row of clipped linden trees now marks the former shoreline. Inside, works by Pipilotti Rist, Fischli/Weiss, Alois Carigiet and Ernst Morgenthaler hang, including Carigiet's circus-scene mural.
