Zurlaubenhof, Zug, Baroque manor in Zug, Switzerland
Zurlaubenhof is a Baroque estate complex in Zug featuring a manor house dating from 1621, a chapel completed in 1635, and a tenant dwelling from 1645 with a two-story loggia. The site brings together several structures built across the 17th century, each reflecting the architectural styles of its time.
The estate belonged to the Zurlauben family from the 15th through the 18th century, a lineage involved in military recruitment and operations across Europe. This prominence and wealth financed the construction of the complex's main buildings during the 1600s.
The third floor of the mansion contains a banquet hall decorated with period wall and ceiling paintings reflecting Swiss aristocratic traditions.
The property is within walking distance of downtown Zug and welcomes visitors to its grounds and buildings. The interior spaces include varying floor levels and passages, so comfortable shoes help when exploring the different structures.
The site was originally called Schildhof and first appears in records from 1277 as meadow and vineyard land below the old St. Michaels Church. This continuity reveals how the location held significance for Zug over many centuries.
