German-English translation:

Ritter Palace


Built 1556-1564 as a residence for mayor Lux Ritter by Domenico Solbiolo from Ponte Caprisca, and designed by Pietro del Grilio from Lugano. After the death of Ritter, the Council was responsible for the completion of the Renaissance building and handed it over to the Jesuits in 1577 as a residence, who added a western wing in 1695, and in 1756-57 added the eastern wing leading to the church.

After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773, the building became a collegiate seminary, and has been a government building since 1804. In 1841-1843 a semicircular grand council chamber was built in the neoclassical style by Melchior Berri.

The arcaded courtyard holds, on the third floor, the striking Dance of Death painted around 1615 by Jakob von Wyl.

Historical monument since 1963, restored 1984-1986.
