Gümligen Castle, 18th-century stately home in Gümligen, Switzerland.
The castle exhibits late Baroque architectural elements with ornate facades and stands prominently at the center of maintained gardens in Muri bei Bern.
Beat Fischer, the head postmaster, commissioned architect Albrecht Stürler to construct this residence between 1736 and 1739, before financial constraints led to its sale.
The castle holds the highest designation as a Class A Swiss cultural property, reflecting its exceptional architectural and historical value to the nation.
Located at Dorfstrasse 107 in Gümligen, the castle remains under private ownership but participates in selected cultural events throughout the year.
During World War II, from 1939 to 1941, Swiss General Henri Guisan established his headquarters and official residence within these castle walls.
