Located on Herrengasse, in the midst of Rapperswil's old town and just a few steps from the main square and the lake, this impressive historic residential and commercial building with three apartments and a retail space/multi-purpose room is for sale.

The three-story property, built in 1573, combines the historic character of the old town house with the amenities of modern living. The house was carefully renovated in 1992, taking into account the old craftsmanship, and equipped with modern comfort in the kitchen and bathroom as well as in the entire installation area. Extended renovations were carried out in 2002 and 2019. Each apartment also has its own private balcony, a rare commodity in the dense, historic building structure of Rapperswil. The house is also accessible by elevator to the partial floors, a rarity.

The house, originally built by the merchant family Gallus, has served as a home to, among others, a goldsmith and a locksmith family, as well as the town clerk Fidel Helbling, over its 450-year history. Today, it is divided into three modern apartments: a three-room apartment on the 1st floor, a two-and-a-half-room apartment on the 2nd floor, and a five-room apartment with a gallery on the 3rd floor. The historic heritage is still alive in the interiors, despite modern comfort, thanks to the visible beams and stonework, which makes this old building particularly appealing.

The multi-purpose room on the ground floor is equipped with a complete kitchen and toilet and is suitable as a retail space or local venue for group events.

The house has a basement and offers four separate cellar compartments as well as a large storage room. Garage spaces can be rented in the immediate vicinity.

Here on Herrengasse, people find a home who want to immerse themselves in the history of the city of Rapperswil and yet do not want to do without modern comfort. Would you like to know more? We would be happy to provide you with detailed documents about this rarity.
