Schloss Binningen

The stone fortress rises above a small park, featuring classic architectural elements with a central courtyard and surrounding water elements near Basel.

Heinrich Zeise constructed the water castle in 1293, which endured a fire in 1409 and underwent reconstruction between 1414 and 1415.

The château holds classification as a class B Swiss cultural property, reflecting the architectural traditions of medieval defensive structures in the Basel region.

The property contains 23 hotel rooms, three conference halls for events, and a restaurant serving regional dishes throughout the year except Mondays.

Every morning, the breakfast room transforms into a public café where both hotel guests and visitors gather until sunset, 365 days annually.
