Schloss Bürglen TG, Medieval castle in Bürglen, Switzerland
The castle consists of a central tower, an elongated eastern wing with stepped gables, and a short west wing built in 1589.
First mentioned in the 12th century, the castle served as residence for the Lords of Bürglen who held significant positions under the Bishop of Constance.
The structure represents the architectural evolution from a medieval fortress to an administrative center, reflecting changes in Swiss governance over centuries.
The castle functions as a primary school, maintaining regular hours during weekdays and offering guided tours through the Rittersaal and Bergfried.
A moat separates the northern section of the castle from the village, preserving the original medieval defensive layout of the structure.
