Castle with outbuildings

The castle with its outbuildings forms an architectural ensemble organized around a central courtyard, defined by stone walls and steep-pitched roofs. The complex displays characteristic features of Swiss construction from that era.

The complex was founded in the mid-1500s and underwent major transformation between 1749 and 1753. This renovation phase converted the original structure into a refined residential château.

The property functions as a museum where visitors encounter regional artifacts and rotating exhibitions about local heritage. It serves the community as a center for cultural engagement and preserves stories connected to this area.

Access is convenient by regular bus service from Bern, with guided tours offered by advance reservation. Planning ahead ensures you can join a tour during the season when visits are available.

A former barn from the 1700s was converted into a public library and community meeting place. A former slaughterhouse from the 1800s now serves as a venue for events and gatherings.
