Pfauenmoos is not far from the road that leads from St. Gallen to Obersteinach. The stately house is hidden in an extensive park to the east of the village of Berg. From 1400 onwards, the area gradually passed into the hands of various large St. Gallen families. In 1525, Dorothea Grüblin sold the area, the vines and all belongings to the Seckelmeister Leonhard Zollikofer (1494-1544), a St. Gallen cashier. From his brother's hands, the estate passed in 1564 to Leonhard's nephew of the same name as his uncle, who was the first owner and founder of the Fideikommiss von Altenklingen. Until his death in 1587, Leonhard Zollikofer retained the Pfauenmoos wine-growing region, which served him as a manor, and the estate of Altenklingen, over which he had jurisdictional rights. After rounding out his property by purchasing neighboring lands, he placed it in fideikommiss in favor of the elder (senior) for each future generation. The provision was only lifted in 1839 and the area was sold in favor of the Altenklingen family property. During the ten years that followed, the area belonged to Jakob Benedikt Germann, then from 1849 to Baron Cornelius von Heyl zu Herrnsheim von Worms, who in turn made a family foundation that included Klein Hahnberg in Berg
