Burgwalden — a village of ponds and a vanished manor
The approach to Burgwalden takes in a low valley, ponds and a small group of buildings. The surviving church and the line of the valley help explain where the village grew.
The city’s history describes a farm and mill at Ettenhofen before the Höchstetter family transformed the place. Look at the relationship between the church and the water when considering the former manor. The settlement is still visible as a cluster within the valley, even though the moated house itself has disappeared.
