Traditional half-timbered architecture

In Allschwil, the historic town center is characterized by a special architectural heritage: the so-called "Riegel house" construction method, which is known in Switzerland as an expression of traditional half-timbered architecture. These half-timbered houses consist of a visible wooden skeleton of horizontal and vertical beams, which form the load-bearing structure, while the spaces in between are filled with traditional materials such as loam or bricks, a construction method that goes back to centuries-old craftsmanship traditions.

Riegel houses are characteristic of the Sundgau style and can be found in dense street rows in the old village center of Allschwil. Many of these buildings were constructed between the 17th and 19th centuries and are now carefully maintained and restored, as they significantly shape the local appearance and historical identity of the community.

Typical of this architecture are visible wooden beams that rhythmize the facade, and simple, earthy proportions that, in combination with gable roofs, create a warm, authentic, and lively street scene. In the middle of the 20th century, some facades were plastered, but in recent decades, they have often been exposed again to make the historic construction method visible and emphasize the traditional structure.

Today, more than a hundred of these Riegel houses stand in the village center, making Allschwil, along with Schönenbuch, unique in Northwestern Switzerland. These houses are not only witnesses of past centuries but also convey a sense of history, value, and local character today. An aspect that gives the location and living environment special identity and charm.
