Intro

The Zwyssighaus Inn in Bauen received special mention because it was salvaged and carefully restored. Because of this, we now have the well-managed birthplace of Father Alberik Zwyssig, the composer of the Swiss Psalm.

Description

Protected as a historical monument the Zwyssighaus sits enthroned in the small and picturesque village center of Bauen, canton Uri. The house is famous as it is the birth place of the Swiss composer Alberik Zwyssig. Alberik Zwyssig lived from 1808-1854 and wrote the psalm which was later taken as the lyrics for the Swiss national anthem. The dignified house offers an unforgettable and beautiful view onto the Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains. The perfect place to linger and to take a relaxing break in the nowadays stylish and personal atmosphere. The restaurant welcomes you with noblesse and style shown in selected materials and great attention to the details. The creative and with regional products inspired kitchen paired with a wide range of selected wines leaves no wishes unfulfilled. Four comfy hotel rooms offer sleeping comfort on a unique position.

This house is called after the composer and music pedagogue Father Alberik Zwyssig, who was born here on November 17, 1808. He worked as music director at the Cistercian Abbey until it was closed in 1841. He eventually died in 1854, at the Abbey Mehrerau in Bregenz. He is best known for having composed Switzerland's Swiss Psalm which the Federal Council pronounced to be the country's national anthem ad interim up to 1961, and definitely in 1981.
