Holidays in the monument combines heritage preservation and tourism. Historically valuable construction tools are taken over, gently renovated and rented as holiday apartments. The model makes a double profit: the monuments get a new future and holidaymakers experience a stay in an extraordinary building. The idea is realized by the foundation Ferien im Baudenkmal (FiB), which was founded in 2005 by the Swiss Homeland Security.

SCHINDELHAUS - Luxurious single-family dwelling from the 18th. century
History & Information
Built in 1755, this mountain farmhouse exemplifies how modern luxury can be skilfully combined with historical substance. In the core building, the house shows its original appearance. The beaten planks, the low ceiling and the old Täfer let guess how mountain farmers in the 18th Century have lived. The former arbors were in such a desolate condition that they could not be preserved. Maintaining the old cubature, two new additions have been created that offer space for amenities such as a sauna, a fully equipped kitchen or a sun room. Located in the immediate vicinity of the gondola lift station of the Flumserberger, up to eight people can spend a luxurious holiday in the historic building all year round in the Schindelhaus.
renovation
The architect Paula Giger was responsible for the renovation. Together with the cantonal preservation of monuments, she developed a conversion concept that has once again made visible a great deal of buried property from this historic building. In order to do justice to a modern use, the extensions were completely demolished and rebuilt with such large window openings that the historic center section also receives additional exposure. These annexes now offer space for modern comforts, such as a very spacious kitchen, a sauna, a sun room and a roof terrace. The entrance points to the original smoke kitchen and forms the highest room in the house. In the modern east gazebo there is a spacious kitchen and a dining area. The living room can be found in the historic part of the house and has been left in its original state as far as possible. In the west gazebo, a light-flooded sunroom and the entrance to the sauna were recreated. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with two beds each. Next to each room is a wet room with shower / or. Bathroom and toilet. Also on this floor is an example of how skilfully the interplay between the historical part and the new Laubenanbauten succeeds and how history and comfort harmoniously go hand in hand. The attic houses another bedroom that can accommodate up to four people. The roof was opened after consultation with the preservation of monuments and now offers access to the roof terrace, which offers a unique view of the Churfirsten and the sickle crest.

Although technically state-of-the-art, certain functional details do not conform to current standards and harbor a potential source of danger. These circumstances are known to the renter.
