Büren Castle, Heritage castle in Büren an der Aare, Switzerland.

The castle features thick stone walls, multiple towers, and traditional Swiss architectural elements characteristic of 17th-century defensive structures.

The castle housed 77 successive Landvogts who administered the region until French troops invaded in 1798, leaving bullet marks still visible on the walls.

The castle's murals and artwork underwent restoration in 2003, returning the interior decorations to their original 17th-century appearance.

Currently functioning as the municipal administration building, the castle maintains regular office hours and welcomes visitors throughout the year.

The building retains bullet scars from the 1798 French invasion, providing physical evidence of significant historical events in Swiss history.
