Le château en bref
The Grundacherhaus (Grundacher Manor House), located at Gesellenweg 4 in Sarnen (Obwalden), dates in its core fabric back to 1593. Originally a simple farmhouse, it was later converted into a seigneurial residence. The interior retains the character of a manor: the ballroom, richly decorated with stucco, served as a reading room, and the small garden preserves a Baroque layout. A property of the cantonal state, the house was restored and converted in 1978–1980 to accommodate the Obwalden Cantonal Library, which was housed there from 1980 until summer 2026. The small, partitioned rooms no longer met the needs of a modern library, and the government decided to relocate it to Bahnhofstrasse 2, in the former headquarters of the cantonal bank. The building is listed in the Swiss Federal Inventory of Cultural Property.
