History
The Gerani village of Merlischachen on Lake Lucerne was first mentioned historically in 1168. Knight Hermanno de Merlascachen appeared here as a witness in a deed of donation.
The name Merlischachen itself is said to be a combination of the Latin names “Merula” for blackbird and the German word “Schachen” for small forest and thus means “Amselwäldchen”.
The lands as well as the fishing rights belonged to the monasteries of Lucerne and Engelberg. In 1440 Merlischachen went to the canton of Schwyz for 60 gold gulden and was united with Küssnacht.
Especially in Belgium Merlischachen and Küssnacht became famous because of the fatal traffic accident of the Belgian Queen Astrid, between these two places.
On the 50th anniversary of the death of Queen Astrid, a commemoration ceremony was held, in which King Boudewijn, Queen Fabiola, Prince Albert and his wife Paola, as well as the Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg, also took part.
In memory of the deceased Queen, the Astrid Hall was then inaugurated at a reception in our Swiss Chalet Merlischachen. Even today, various pictures in the Astrid Hall remind us of the Queen of yesteryear.
Typically Switzerland
Our Chalet-Hotel Lodge is a really cozy chalet, a wooden house from the 17th century, in the typical Swiss farmhouse style, offers a special ambience.
Low ceilings, lots of wood and creaking beams are an experience that you normally only find in the lofty heights of the mountains. Spend the night like Wilhelm Tell in original rooms with a checkered pattern in the Swiss colors, red & white.

The foyer in front of Astrid Hall is also inviting. Here your guests can get in the mood for the following event in the Astrid Hall. The Bacchus Hall, among others, is recommended for small parties.
Its pièce de résistance is a ten-meter-long refectory table made of 400-year-old elm wood from the old “Ponte die Bassano”. The aperitif or the end of the evening is enjoyed in the Chalet Bar.

Wilhelm Tell – the most important legendary figure of Switzerland
The folk hero was already known in our latitudes in the late Middle Ages and early modern times, long before Friedrich Schiller helped the character to world fame with his famous stage drama “Wilhelm Tell” (first performance in 1804 in Weimar).
Tell is mentioned for the first time in the so-called “White Book of Sarnen”, a chronicle by the Obwalden country writer Hans Schriber around 1470.
He has thus been an integral part of the Swiss liberation mythology for over 500 years and is mentioned in the same context as Habsburg oppression by the bailiffs, the Rütli oath, the castle break and liberation battles.
As a blameless mountain farmer, he defends himself against the tyrannical bailiff Heinrich Gessler and shoots him from ambush with his crossbow in the Hohlen Gasse near Küssnacht.
He thus becomes a hero and helps trigger the legendary self-liberation of the Confederates around 1300, which reaches its first climax in the Battle of Morgarten (1315).
Tell dies as an old man while rescuing a small child from the raging mountain stream Schächen in the Schächen valley in Uri. To this day he is regarded as the epitome of courage, strength of will and unshakable determination, and for centuries has been a symbol of love of freedom and independence.
Tour of Schwyz

Bourbaki Lucerne – Panorama Image
Experience the fascinating story of a medium and its fateful history. As a prime example of a humanitarian commitment, the asylum search of the French Bourbaki Army to Switzerland in 1871 went down in history and was captured in a virtual reality from the time before cinema. Interesting tour to another time!
The Bourbaki Panorama Lucerne – a European cultural monument – commemorates the internment of 87,000 French soldiers who find refuge in Switzerland in the winter of 1871. A gripping story told by painter Edouard Castres in 1881 on the 112 × 10 meter (originally 112 x 14 meter) circular painting.
The message of the Bourbaki Panorama has no expiration date and is still relevant after 150 years. Solidarity and exclusion concern our society today more than ever. Today, the medium of the panorama is not only considered the precursor of cinemas, but also the inspiration for 360-degree filmmaking and virtual reality.
