En un regard
Le château en bref
In the heart of the hamlet of Jetschwil, in the municipality of Düdingen (Guin), Sense District, the Landsitz de Boccard is an 18th-century country house of the Fribourg patriciate, which local sources also refer to as Schloss Jetschwil. The present building is a two-storey residence, topped by a broad mansard roof and lit by eight window bays. Its style draws on French models. It incorporates a former chapel within its structure. The estate is enclosed by a low wall and by a tree-lined park bounded by walls, with several outbuildings, including a barn dated 1793. Around the house, farms dating from the 18th and 19th centuries have grouped to form a compact village ensemble. The ISOS inventory also records a decorated granary from 1727 and the Mariahilf chapel (1725–1727), a place of pilgrimage. A castle may have stood here in the Middle Ages. The de Boccard family, a patrician family of Fribourg, acquired the estate in 1710 and had the present building erected around 1765.
