Château Knonau, Medieval château in Knonau, Switzerland
The stone château stands with its rectangular structure, surrounded by gardens and located at coordinates 47°13'22"N, 8°27'52"E in the Zürich canton.
First documented in 1240 as property of Damenstift Schänis, the château sustained damage during the Second Kappeler War in the 1530s and received defensive improvements.
The château earned recognition as a class B Swiss cultural property of regional significance, representing architectural heritage within the Zürich canton administration.
Located at Schloss 1, 8934 Knonau, the château remains accessible via the S5 line of the Zürich S-Bahn from Zürich Hauptbahnhof central station.
The property transformed from a medieval administrative center into a private psychiatric clinic in 1926 when Dr. Jakob Kläsi-Blumer acquired the structure.
