The <> - a piece of Werdenberg history is looking for new owners
A landmark at the entrance to the historic town of Werdenberg: the Red House, was built in the second half of the 16th century and has been carefully extended and restored several times over the years. It is also known as the birthplace of Swiss political scientist and philosopher Carl Hilty. With its richly decorated façade, traditional half-timbered construction and striking red color, it is one of the most impressive buildings in the town.
The property is situated on a plot of 153 m², extends over four floors and has a total of six rooms as well as 2 commercial premises on the ground floor.
The main entrance is on the first floor and can be reached via the staircase on the left side of the building. This leads directly to the stairwell and from there to a large room with an open fireplace. Behind this is the former kitchen, which has already been removed, as well as a guest toilet. Next to it are three spacious and beautiful old-style rooms with coffered ceilings, real wood parquet flooring, old wooden floorboards and a view of the main street.
On the second floor there are two more large rooms with many historical elements such as traditional leaded windows and decorated coffered ceilings. The spacious hallway leads to the rear of the house, where the bathroom with a bathtub and toilet as well as a dressing room are located. The stairs lead to the attic, which offers an additional room.
The ground floor on the lower street level includes a large cellar as well as two commercial premises with a separate toilet and shower. These are ideal as a studio, office or sales area and are attractive for both private use and rental. A separate entrance offers flexibility in use. The separate cellar room on the right side of the building was converted by the political community of Grabs into a public toilet in 2025. However, there is no impact on the house due to the massive walls.
Like all buildings in the Werdenberg town, the Red House is a listed building, which further emphasizes its cultural value. Renovations are possible within the framework of official guidelines and offer committed buyers the opportunity to preserve a piece of Swiss history and to continue it in an individual way. The building is connected to the district heating system of the Buchs waste incineration plant and is currently vacant - ideal conditions for a stylish renovation that respects the historical substance.
A unique opportunity to acquire a culturally historical gem in a prominent location - for enthusiasts who not only want to admire history, but also live it.
