The Uri corporation is investing 200,000 francs in the Treib restoration!

The canton of Uri faces an important challenge to preserve one of its historic landmarks. The Uri Corporation Council has just approved an amount of 200,000 francs to support the restoration of the “Haus zur Treib”. Dieses Gebäude, das erste Parlamentsgebäude der Schweiz, bedarf dringend umfassender Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen.

The initiative aims to renew and secure the infrastructure of the historic restaurant in the protected landscape area on Lake Lucerne. The last complete restoration was over 40 years ago, which is why there is now an urgent need for action to preserve both the structural substance and the operation. These measures include not only the restoration of the building, but also the replacement of the building services, important fire protection measures and the renovation of the catering kitchen.

Necessary investments for a sustainable future

However, the financing requirements significantly exceed the capabilities of the supporting foundation. Those responsible point out that significant financial support is required to make the project a reality. The project includes the following planned measures:

• Gebäuderestaurierung
• Ersatz der Haustechnik (Elektro, Heizung, Sanitär)
• Brandschutzmaßnahmen
• Erneuerung der Gastronomieküche
• Gestaltung barrierefreier WCs
• Instandstellung von Hafen-/Steganlagen
• Auffrischung der Umgebung
• Einbau von Gäste-/Personalzimmern

The cooperation partners, including the municipality of Seelisberg, the canton of Uri and the Dätwyler Foundation, are showing great willingness to support. The Datwyler Foundation in particular is the main sponsor and is making an important contribution to the realization of the ambitious plans.

Long-term effects and goals

The architectural firm Architektur Baumann AG from Altdorf, which specializes in monument preservation, will accompany the corresponding restoration work. The impact of the project is significant: the maintenance of the “Haus zur Treib” ensures public access and ensures the future, cost-covering use of the inn.

The commitment of the Board of Trustees is particularly noteworthy. All members have a personal connection to Treib and bring the necessary specialist knowledge to successfully implement the project. The historical significance and structural substance of the house should therefore be preserved for future generations. This will not only contribute to cultural preservation, but also to promote regional tourism, as the Gasthaus zur Treib is a popular destination.

Overall, the support of the Uri Corporation Council for the restoration of the “Haus zur Treib” shows that the appreciation of historical buildings is great in Switzerland. urnerzeitung.ch reports that these measures can preserve an important piece of Swiss history and that the region will benefit from increased tourist attractiveness. Furthermore, stiftungschweiz.ch provides detailed insights into the further plans and the importance of the project for the community.
