Wittigkofen Castle, Historic castle in Murifeld, Switzerland
The castle spans across several buildings connected by a timber-framed wing, featuring both medieval and baroque architectural elements throughout its structures.
Following destruction by fire in 1580, the medieval structure was replaced with a tower-style pleasure house, marking a significant transformation in the castle's architecture.
The interior contains late Gothic wood paneling, trompe-l'oeil artwork from 1581, and decorated cylindrical stoves painted by Jakob Hoffmann in 1761.
Visitors can find Wittigkofen Castle at 137B Melchenbühlweg in Bern, situated at coordinates 46.94257 degrees north and 7.48174 degrees east.
During the French invasion of 1798, the castle became a headquarters for supporters of the Old Regime opposing the Helvetic Republic.
