Castell Castle, Stately home in Tägerwilen, Switzerland.
Description
Castell Castle is a stately home built of stone on the Seerücken ridge near Tägerwilen in eastern Switzerland. The 160-hectare estate combines agricultural fields and forests with viewpoints overlooking Lake Constance, Reichenau Island, and the surrounding countryside.
History
The castle was significantly renewed after renovations in 1725 and later transformed between 1878 and 1894 by architect Emil Otto Tafel into a Neo-Renaissance building. This major reconstruction reflected 19th-century architectural trends in eastern Switzerland.
Culture
The name reflects the family that shaped the estate over centuries and left their mark on its design. Visitors can sense this connection in how the grounds and buildings relate to the surrounding landscape.
Practical
The castle remains privately owned and open only to limited visitors because it functions as an active agricultural and forestry estate. Plan ahead to understand which outdoor areas are accessible and respect the working nature of the property.
Did you know?
Inside the residence lies a replica of the Moorish hall from Granada's Alhambra, an unexpected Mediterranean touch in this Swiss building. This ornate room reveals the exotic interests and taste of the 19th-century residents.
