History

At that time an official collected tithes from local farmers for the prince-bishopric of Basel, and he answered to the prince-bishop. The name of the house refers to this kind of higher official and administrator. Later the farm became a bailiwick and storehouse, and its official ran a hostel. A trade route passed here, and merchants stopped with their pack animals. The house was built to look like a manor house to visitors.
