The Junkerhof originated from a late medieval "fixed house" from the 14th / 15th century. Where the name comes from is still not clear today. The house received its present form in the 17th century, when the building was extended to the south with a stone "Nahüs" (back house) and the stair tower.
In 1973, the municipality of Naters acquired the entire building. The Junkerhaus achieved national significance in the European Year for the Preservation of Historical Monuments and the Protection of Cultural Heritage in 1975 and received federal and cantonal subsidies for its restoration in 1975 / 1976. The municipal administration moved into the building in the same year.
