EN: The Bruckgut estate is located north of Münchensteinin the lowlands of the river Birs. It was built in 1758 for the entrepreneur Markus Weiss-Leissler (1696-1768). The architect Samuel Werenfels (1720-1800) used in part the building and arrangement of an earlier building dating from the 16th or 17th century, as a result the northern wing is wider than the southern one and and there are some other irregularities.
