Bernegg Castle, Class B cultural property in Emmishofen, Switzerland
Description
Bernegg Castle is a fortified castle in Kreuzlingen municipality with four stories and a rectangular floor plan. The walls taper gradually from the base to the upper levels, which is typical of medieval defensive structures.
History
The castle was founded in 1292 and changed hands several times before eventually being recognized as a regional cultural property. This evolution shows its importance in local history across the centuries.
Culture
The castle shows medieval defensive design with features like arrow slits and battlements still visible in its stonework today. These details reveal how the structure once served both residential and protective purposes.
Practical
The building preserves its original third-story entrance while a converted arrow slit on the south wall now serves as the main access point. Visitors should be aware that not all areas may be accessible to the public.
Did you know?
Remnants of a brick oven remain on the highest floor, a rare glimpse into daily life within medieval fortifications. Such domestic details help visitors understand how residents actually lived in the structure.
