For centuries, the "Im Hof" property formed the end of the village, which is now marked by the tram line. The estate consisted of two buildings enclosing a courtyard with an octagonal well. The "Hof" or also called "Huberisches Gut" was built in 1668 by Basel captain Johann Wernhard Huber. The year 1668 can be found above the former stair tower. The farm later went to the Jourdan family. The walled property also includes a farm building converted several times. The "Hof" also includes a garden with a lattice gate and a garden pavilion from the 18th century, both of which were listed as historical monuments in 1976.
The main building is still used for residential purposes today.
