Lunde

In the Netstal dialect, "London" became "Lunde". The Lunde owes its name to Jost Spälti, the old church warden and innkeeper. He ran the inn and the "London" grocery store in the house. Jost Spälti took over the house, which was built around 1817, in 1820, three years before his return from Moscow in 1823. He bought it from the brothers Leonhard and Michael Weber. In 1951, the property came into the possession of Tagwen Netstal. He used the building for the offices of EVN. As a result of the municipal merger in 2011, the property was transferred to the municipality of Glarus.

“EVN” becomes “GAW”
The municipality, as the owner, launched a competition among non-profit housing cooperatives in the canton of Glarus. The aim of this competition was to increase the density of the area, which will be implemented on the large plot. The aim is to create cooperative housing in multi-generational houses. A culturally and historically important requirement of the competition is the preservation and restoration of the historic Lunde, which we were commissioned to carry out.
