1469
First Recorded Mention
The Rastenhof was first mentioned in official records in the year 1469.
1848
The Great Misfortune: The Farm Burns Down
In 1848, the family was struck by a tragic event. The entire estate burned down. At the back of the farm building, a footpath led toward the village of Buch. At night, people used so-called “Buchln” (torches) for better visibility. One late evening, someone walked by with such a torch and stopped to look at the flax bundles stored in an open shed. Whether a spark ignited the fire or the torch came too close to the flax is unknown – but the flax caught fire. Within a short time, the entire property was engulfed in flames. Strong föhn winds caused the fire to spread rapidly. Only the livestock could be saved – the farm burned down to its foundations. At that time, the Rastenhof was located slightly further north, where today the orchard stands. With the strong support of the local community, the house and farm buildings were rebuilt in the same year.
1982
Transfer to Manfred Brunner
In 1982, the farm was transferred from Josef Brunner to his grandnephew Manfred Brunner, the current owner.
2010
Complete Renovation and a New Chapter
In 2010, Manfred Brunner and his wife Sissy decided to carry out a full renovation of the Rastenhof. Great importance was placed on preserving the original rustic structure while carefully combining it with modern architecture.
Since then, the farmhouse has been successfully rented out to holiday guests.
