EN: The neo-Gothic villa on the Peter Merian-Strasse 19/21 was built in 1903/04 by Wilhelm Bernoulli (1869-1909). The irregularly shaped three-storey building gives the impression of a medieval fortress, especially the entrance area and the turret on the southwest corner.

On the balcony above the entrance there are two side-facing gargoyles in the shape of dogs.

Am Balkon über dem Eingangsberich befinden sich zwei seitlich ausgerichtete Wasserspeier in der Form von Hunden.
