At that time, the village was referred to as\n          <strong>Mountains<\/strong> mentioned. As early as the 13th century, jurisdiction, ecclesiastical rights and\nstructures of power were an important part of the town\u2019s history.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          In the Middle Ages, the rights to Berg were held by ecclesiastical and noble institutions. Following the Reformation, key\nrights were transferred to Zurich. In the 17th century, Berg am Irchel became the seat of its own bailiwick court.\n          This development explains why, despite its small size, the town boasts a remarkably rich historical heritage.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>Gr\u00e4slikon has been part of the political municipality of Berg am Irchel since 1855; prior to that, it was part of Buch am Irchel. Berg and Gr\u00e4slikon together make up the current municipal area.<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"berg-callout\">\n          If you want to understand Berg am Irchel, you should look beyond its scenery.\nThe history of judicial authority, agriculture, viticulture and Zurich\u2019s influence is still evident in the town\u2019s appearance today.\n        <\/div>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section id=\"wappen\" class=\"berg-section\">\n        <h2>The coat of arms of Berg am Irchel<\/h2>\n\n        <p>\n          The municipal coat of arms features a leaping silver boar on a blue background. The design dates back to the Lords of\nErzingen-Bettmaringen, who held feudal rights in Berg during the Middle Ages. It was adopted as the official\nmunicipal coat of arms in 1943.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          The coat of arms is therefore more than just a decorative symbol. It reflects the area\u2019s medieval history of rule\nand links the modern-day municipality with its regional past.\n        <\/p>\n      <\/section>\n\n      <section id=\"sehenswuerdigkeiten\" class=\"berg-section berg-section-soft\">\n        <h2>Historical sights and places of interest<\/h2>\n\n        <p>\n          For such a small community, Berg am Irchel boasts several notable historical and cultural landmarks.\nSome are located right in the village, whilst others are in the surrounding area. It is important to note that not all of these sites are freely accessible;\nsome are privately owned or can only be visited as part of a guided tour.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"berg-card-grid\">\n          <div class=\"berg-info-card\">\n            <h3>Berg am Irchel Castle<\/h3>\n            <p>\n              Berg Castle was built in 1649 by Hans Heinrich Escher vom Luchs.
