Seminars and company events
For seminars, workshops and meetings, the operator states a maximum of 18 people with seating set as you wish. Included are high-speed Wi-Fi, a cork wall, a flipchart and a screen. The Raum Anna also has a digital flipchart with Wi-Fi, HDMI and USB connections. A facilitation case can be added on request. Coffee, tea and mineral water are included for up to 12 people, with an extra charge per additional person.
Food can be booked separately: snacks for mid-morning and afternoon on request, and lunch at the Restaurant Linde in Büttikon, where the house will reserve a table. A small kiosk offers soft drinks, wine, beer and snacks. There are 9 parking spaces, with more on request. The calendar on the website shows free dates, although it does not guarantee a booking.
Weddings and receptions
The rooms are offered for celebrations, wedding receptions, tastings, banquets, apéros and exhibitions, up to 50 people with seating as you wish. In the Raum Anna, civil weddings are held with the registry office of Muri. A kitchenette and a refrigerator are available. Catering and decoration are the responsibility of the organiser, and a small selection of crockery, such as glasses, small plates and dessert cutlery, can be booked on request.
Rooms and capacities
There are two rooms, the Raum Sophie and the Raum Anna. Each consists of a salon and a vaulted room, and the two rooms can be combined. The venue publishes group maximums for the whole house rather than a figure for each room: 18 people for a seminar and 50 for an event. Rental can be for half a day of five hours or a full day, with additional hours possible, and the rental period starts when the key is handed over. A visit before booking is recommended by the owners, who offer appointments.
Catering
Catering is not provided by the house for standard rentals. The house recommends the Restaurant Linde in Büttikon and the Dorfladen Büttikon for catering and food supplies. With its partners it also offers event packages, among them a small brunch buffet and a large brunch buffet for groups of at least 15 adults. The large buffet is served with staff on site, while the small one is delivered and collected without staff.
History and setting
The house stands in Büelisacker, in the municipality of Waltenschwil, between Boswil and Wohlen. Its restaurant closed in 2003 and the house was quiet for twenty years before the ground floor was restored as event and seminar rooms. The stated aim is a meeting place that is central yet close to nature.
Getting there
The address is Tobelacherweg 4, 5622 Waltenschwil. The official pages do not describe public transport, so confirm the best way to reach the house when you request a visit.
