En un regard
Le château en bref
La Petite-Riedera is one of the two former patrician estates of La Riedera, in the municipality of Le Mouret (district of Sarine), at the foot of the Cousimbert. The manor is said to have been built in the 1580s for Marti Gottrau, in the late Gothic style, and remained with the Gottrau branch, lords of Billens, until 1804. Tobie de Gottrau then sold the property to Dom Augustin de Lestrange, Abbot General of La Trappe, who installed a community of Trappist nuns there (c. 1805–1815). The building was extended in 1804–1805. Sold in 1838 to the Countess de la Poype, who gave it to the bishop, it had served since 1841 as a country residence for the bishops of Fribourg. An interior chapel houses a retable with shutters dated 1586.
