This unique and listed building, built in 1892 as a “villa with offices,” is the last remaining building of the former Erlen brewery.
It is an impressive example of historic industrial architecture in the style of a 19th-century castle-like brewery building with a carefully designed brick facade, plastered base area and decorative elements such as cornices and elaborately crafted door and window lintels.
The building was converted into four small apartments in 1987, while some historical elements were preserved, including the rare concrete vault and the original staircase with wooden railing.
Since 2005, the house has been lovingly transformed into a stylish single-family home by a pair of artists and architects. Highlights include a spacious living room with a stucco ceiling and fine parquet flooring, individually designed rooms with harmonious color schemes, and artistic ceiling objects.
The existing kitchens and bathrooms allow for flexible use, whether as a residential and commercial building, a single-family home, or as multiple residential units. The elevated location, just 200 meters from the Landsgemeindeplatz, offers stunning views of the old town, the valley, and the Glarus mountains from the upper floors.
