Hünegg Castle, Renaissance Revival château in Hilterfingen, Switzerland
The limestone structure stands on elevated ground near Lake Thun, featuring Renaissance-style architecture with symmetrical wings and ornate decorative elements.
Prussian Baron Albert Emil Otto von Parpart commissioned architect Heino Schmieden to construct this residence between 1861 and 1863 above Lake Thun.
The castle functions as a museum displaying the living culture of Historicism and Art Nouveau periods, with rooms maintaining their original 1900s configuration.
Visitors can explore the castle from May through October, with the museum and café operating Tuesday to Saturday 2-5 PM and Sundays 11 AM-5 PM.
The castle cellar hosts the Brocante Royal market on weekends, where collectors can purchase antiques in a nineteenth-century setting.
