Hindelbank Castle, Baroque castle in Hindelbank, Switzerland.
The two-story castle exhibits a steep hipped roof, a north-facing three-sided courtyard, and two rows of seven symmetrical windows and doors.
Built between 1720 and 1725 for Schultheiss Hieronymus von Erlach, French architect Joseph Abeille created the design plans based on Thunstetten Castle.
The castle represents a significant example of Swiss baroque architecture and maintains its status as a Class A cultural property of national importance.
Located at von Erlach-Weg 2 in Hindelbank, the castle currently serves as the administrative center for Switzerland's only women's correctional facility.
The property underwent a transformation from private residence to women's reformatory in 1896, following its acquisition by the Canton of Bern in 1866.
