Holidays in the monument combines heritage preservation and tourism. Historically valuable Bauzeugen be taken, gently renovated and rented as apartments.

OLD PÄCHTERHAUS - Typical Lucerne farmhouse

History & Information The Old Tenant House is located in the beautiful hamlet of Heiligkreuz. The tenant house was 1843-1845 in traditional block construction technology. With two full floors and two floors in the far favorite hip roof, it represents a respectable volume. The house is directly opposite the Sanctuary. The hamlet Heiligkreuz is under nationlaem townscape protection. The loosely assembled module with the old tenant house, the church, the inn, the hospice and the laundry is typical, as the two tree-way stations pilgrimage routes that lead upward from Hasle and Schüpfheim to Holy Cross for Lucerne Sanctuaries. Heiligkreuz is a perfect starting point to explore the many different natural beauties and family adventure worlds of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch.  In this apartment 4 people can spend summer and winter holidays in the monument.

Renovation: In close collaboration with the cantonal monument preservation the building fabric of the old tenant house was assessed. The aim was to keep the constructive engagement very moderate. The building envelope with facades, roof and windows has undergone complete refurbishment. The technical installations such as heating, electrical and sanitary facilities had to be replaced. The interior is constructed as much existing material was protected and preserved. No interventions carried out - on the attached barn were - except the roof renovation. For both apartments a garden seat was created.
