s magnificent building of the Löwenhof with over 60 rooms is today considered the grandest manorial building of the 18th century in the canton of St.Gallen. The three-storey Löwenhof was built in 1742/46 as a summer residence on behalf of the rich local Heer trading house (silk and wool fabrics). Later he was owned by the merchant and magistrate Jakob Laurenz Custer. In the inner courtyard of the U-shaped Löwenhof there is a French garden with an orangery, fountain and pavilion. The baroque complex of the Löwenhof Rheineck is an excellent link between the building and the surrounding garden and represents a cultural monument of national importance.

pavilion
The pavilion overlooks the garden and Löwenhof perfectly. With wonderful stucco ceilings, the annex would also be a sight as a single house.

Orangery
The orangery (left) is another sign of the wealth of the Löwenhof. Orangeries were originally built as representative greenhouses for citrus and other exotic plants. Today it is used as a studio (stone sculpture) and rounds off the baroque complex of the Löwenhof perfectly.
