Muri château, 17th-century castle in Muri bei Bern, Switzerland.
The castle features a pointed stair tower and stands on Murihügel hill, surrounded by gardens established between 1851 and 1854.
Colonel Johann Rudolf von Diesbach, who served in the Swiss Guards in France, initiated the construction of the castle between 1650 and 1652.
The castle provided refuge to the future King Charles X of France during the French Revolution, while nobles from his court settled nearby.
The castle maintains its private ownership status since 1980 under Catherine Stankiewicz-von Ernst, located at Thunstrasse 95 in Muri bei Bern.
Abraham Henggi, a butcher who purchased the property in 1758, began ambitious renovations that exceeded his financial capabilities.
