Welcome to Euthal! At the southern end of the Sihlsee plain, at 943 m above sea level, stands the historic Sihltal hut, a building monument of great cultural significance. Originally built in 1570 as a summer residence for the abbot of Einsiedeln, this historic building is now a unique residential and estate property with character, history and impressive substance.
A place with history and character.
The Sihltal hut is a two-story, plastered stone building with a characteristic hipped roof and four striking corner risalits. These architectural elements give the building its distinctive appearance. Two intricately crafted sandstone portals adorn the north and south facades, decorated with the coats of arms of the Einsiedeln monastery and the abbot Eichhorn, a bishop’s mitre and staff – an impressive testament to the monastery’s past.
The building is protected as a monument (protection objective II) and is listed in the cantonal inventory of cultural assets worthy of protection. This ensures the preservation of the exterior appearance and the historical room structures. The monument-compliant restoration of 1972 preserved the authentic character without limiting the usability.
Living with soul – inside and out
On the ground floor, there were once cheese storage and dairy rooms – a charming reminder of the agricultural past. These areas have been gently adapted and can now be used in a variety of ways, such as as an atelier, workshop or storage space.
On the upper floor is the former summer residence of the abbot, which is now inhabited all year round. Here, historic building elements such as massive walls, wooden beams and sandstone door frames combine with the tranquil atmosphere of the alpine surroundings to create a unique living experience full of history and soul.
Location – nature, peace and history
The Sihltal hut is located on the edge of the traditional “Chlosterguet” estate, surrounded by old trees, meadows and a protective wall about 1.5 meters high. From here, the view opens up over the expanse of the Sihlsee and the surrounding Alps – a retreat that offers peace, inspiration and privacy.
The property includes a generous plot of 2,360 m² of agricultural land thanks to a new parceling, which generously surrounds the Sihltal hut. This property not only offers idyllic seclusion, but also versatile uses in accordance with the law – for example, for creating a large garden, keeping animals on a small scale or as a natural landscape area with high recreational value.
Thanks to its proximity to Einsiedeln (10 minutes), Unteriberg (5 minutes) and Zurich (approx. 50 minutes), this location combines absolute peace and quiet with very good accessibility. Hiking and biking trails start right at the front door, the Sihlsee lake invites you to swim and sail in the summer, and in the winter, ski areas such as Hoch-Ybrig are in the immediate vicinity.
Use and potential
Whether as a private residence, a holiday home with a history, an artist’s house, a boutique studio or as a prestigious investment property – this property allows for many different lifestyles and uses. The solid building structure, the protected location and the historical significance make the Sihltal hut a unique investment in a piece of Swiss cultural history.
The cantonal monument protection* ensures the long-term preservation of this architectural heritage, while the generous plot size creates space for individual ideas. This creates a rare combination of historical authenticity and landscape freedom.
The offer also includes the outbuilding/barn No. 2620 with a building area of around 230m2.
The sale is being made without a price indication. We look forward to your personal purchase offer for this unique property.
*Protection objective II = obligation to preserve the external appearance, preservation of the spatial structures.
