Salesianum, Architectural ensemble in Oberwil bei Zug, Switzerland.
The Salesianum consists of St. Karl Borromäus chapel, a baroque Herrenhaus mansion, and a French-style Mittelbau connecting structure on the property grounds.
Jakob Stocker constructed the chapel in 1615, followed by the addition of the Herrenhaus in 1750 and the Mittelbau connection between 1750 and 1769.
The Swiss national anthem composer Alberich Zwyssig wrote the Schweizerpsalm at this location while seeking refuge from Wettingen monastery in the 1840s.
The property serves as an example of Swiss architectural preservation, maintaining its structural elements through multiple ownership changes and different functional purposes.
Saint Charles Borromeo, a papal representative, first entered Zug at this specific location in 1570, leading to the naming of the St. Karlshof estate.
