Schloss Meienberg mit Ökonomiegebäuden und Park

Schloss Meienberg mit Ökonomiegebäuden und Park, Class B cultural property in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland.

Schloss Meienberg is a spacious château-like estate on the Meienberg in Jona, part of Rapperswil-Jona. It consists of a classical-style country house begun in 1828, adjoining farm buildings and a landscaped park with a central pond.

Johann Jakob Staub acquired land on the Meienberg and from 1828 built a country estate in the neoclassical style, joining further plots into a landscaped park. In 1824 the Pfäfers monastery had sold the Meienberg terrace to the Braendlin brothers and the innkeeper Heussi; Staub's daughter later married the industrialist Jakob Braendlin-Näf. In 1912/13 the Swiss abroad Albert Meyer-von Reutercrona bought the Meienberg estate.

The estate shows how factory owners settling in Rapperswil became citizens of Jona, where land was still available, and built their villas there. Staub's daughter married the industrialist Jakob Braendlin-Näf, who already lived on the Meienberg, linking the two families' properties.

The estate on the Meienberg is in private hands and normally not open to the public. The grounds with the central pond and park cannot be visited without an arrangement with the owners. The site lies in the Jona district of Rapperswil-Jona, canton St. Gallen.

The park includes a central pond that was part of an early 19th-century design approach for affluent country estates. This feature shows how industrial wealth owners expressed their prosperity through landscape design and architecture.
