Tips
The House of the Griffin was built in 1738.
Two griffins can be seen in the beam above the first floor, and the year of construction is in the corner post. The building served as an inn until 1919. It was last owned by the Oberkirch-based brewery Schrempp and Gugelmeier. There has been a drugstore here since 1919 and a pharmacy since 1975.
The house next door was owned by the Mersi family of wood turners for generations. It dates from 1691, making it the first known building erected after the town fire.
