Landenberghaus, Greifensee

The Landenberghaus and the vicarage have since the 13th century been at the heart of the social, political and cultural life in the Greifensee community and the surrounding region. The hall and the adjoining spaces had to be renovated and enlarged, keeping the historic stone walls while adding a raised contemporary roof and a wooden balcony.
