Salesianum, Architectural ensemble in Oberwil bei Zug, Switzerland.
Salesianum is an architectural ensemble near Zug comprising a baroque chapel, a manor house, and a connecting structure between them. The three components form a unified composition reflecting construction phases from the 1600s through the late 1700s.
The chapel was built in the early 1600s, and the manor house was added about a century later as the estate expanded. The connecting structure unified the composition during the same period of growth.
The property reflects the life of the Salesian community and the local gentry through its chapel and residential buildings. Visitors can observe how the chapel and mansion once served as spaces where religious practice and domestic life intertwined.
The ensemble stands near Zug with all three buildings clearly visible from the exterior vantage points. Visitors should respect the protected status of the property and observe boundaries around the residential areas.
A composer created an important Swiss musical work at this site while seeking refuge from his monastery. This event occurred in the 1840s and connected this place to the nation's musical heritage.
