Schloss Salenstein, Medieval castle in Salenstein, Switzerland
Schloss Salenstein stands on a rocky outcrop above Lake Constance, featuring a main building with an English neo-Gothic facade and an auxiliary two-story structure.
The castle dates back to 1092 when the Lords of Salenstein served as ministers to the Abbey of Reichenau, marking the beginning of its documented history.
The Foundation for Art, Culture, and History maintained the castle from 1979 to 2024, preserving its status as a class B Swiss cultural property.
The castle requires extensive restoration work due to minimal maintenance over the past 40 years under previous ownership.
Baron Alexander von Herder transformed the medieval structure in 1869 by adding an English neo-Gothic facade, changing its appearance to a more noble country house.
