A place that breathes history – and offers a true sense of belonging.
The "Alte Wacht", a lovingly restored gatehouse from the 14th/15th century, is nestled within the private castle grounds of Knonau – directly alongside the historic castle wall, surrounded by ancient trees and timeless tranquillity.
Here, character, nature, and privacy converge to create a way of living that is increasingly rare today. Whether as a residence, a retreat, or a creative space – this house tells stories and awaits its next chapter.
Inside: carefully renovated rooms with a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Outside: a sheltered terrace beneath old plane trees, views of greenery, and the discreet charm of centuries past.
Despite its peaceful location, the property is well-connected:
