Neu-Habsburg Castle, Gothic Revival castle at Lake Lucerne, Switzerland
The current Neu-Habsburg Castle features a square main tower, thick ring walls, and additional structures built upon medieval foundations near Lake Lucerne.
The Habsburg family constructed the original castle in 1244 as an administrative center for their territories, including Weggis, Küssnacht, and surrounding regions.
The castle holds regional significance in Swiss heritage and represents the architectural transition from medieval fortification to 19th-century Gothic Revival design.
The castle, located at Lerchenbühlstrasse 80 in Meggen, remains under private ownership and serves as a residence rather than a public museum.
The castle incorporates remnants of its 13th-century predecessor, which was destroyed in 1352 after Lucerne joined the Swiss Confederation.
