The Burggasse in Muttenz is one of those parts of the old village center that has retained its structure and was never densely built over. On the north side of the alley there are isolated small farm houses. This includes the former small farmhouse No. 17, which, according to the date above the window on the ground floor, was built in 1707. In front of the house there is a small forecourt, the house garden and a fountain.
Wooden extensions were later added to the back, as was customary at the time. In the course of a conversion, the whole house was set up for residential use without major changes being necessary on the outside. With regard to the renovation of the Muttenz farmhouses and their change of purpose, we are faced here with a prime example.
