Le château en bref
Eichberg Country House is a neoclassical country estate built between 1792 and 1793 in the municipality of Uetendorf in the canton of Bern.
Carolus Fischer (1734–1821), an officer in Piedmontese service, and his wife Marianne Jenner (1743–1790) had the neoclassical country house built in the years 1792 to 1793 to designs by Cyr Jean-Marie Vivenel (1748–1839) and Ludwig Friedrich Schnyder. The water features were probably executed to plans by the hydraulic engineer Andreas Lanz (1740–1803).
Carolus Fischer bequeathed the Eichberg to his son Friedrich Albert von Fischer, district governor (Oberamtmann) in Burgdorf, who sold it to his son Carl Ferdinand von Fischer, who was married to Emilie Sophia Louise Wilhelmine von Plessen. The latter's son Eduard Friedrich Wilhelm Helmut von Fischer inherited the country estate from his father. After his death, the farmer E. Wyss bought the Eichberg. From 1932 to 1984 the house served as a children's home run by deaconesses; since then it has been a private residence. The Eichberg Foundation, established in 1983, aims to preserve and maintain the elements of the Eichberg country estate that are of cultural-historical significance.
In 1978 the Burgerbibliothek Bern acquired a series of 25 building plans for the Campagne Eichberg.
