Gut Ralligen

En un regard

Le château en bref

Gut Ralligen is a manor estate in the village of Merligen (municipality of Sigriswil) on Lake Thun in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. The manor house can be traced back historically to the 14th century, when it was used by the Interlaken Monastery as a vineyard estate. After the introduction of the Reformation in 1528, it mostly belonged to Bernese patricians or burghers of the town of Thun until the 19th century. After it was acquired and renovated by G. Christen, a Bernese merchant, it housed a domestic science school for several decades. Since 1976, Gut Ralligen has belonged to the Evangelical community of the Christusträger and is used as a guesthouse for holidays and retreats. Gut Ralligen is served by bus route 21 of the STI transport company, which in turn replaced the trolleybus Thun–Beatenbucht that operated between 1952 and 1982. From 1913 to 1952, the Steffisburg–Thun–Interlaken tramway ran along this section, also stopping at Gut Ralligen.
