Schloss Thayngen, Class B cultural heritage castle in Thayngen, Switzerland

The rectangular building features a stone spiral staircase tower, sandstone door frames with trefoil arches, and multiple decorated chambers across different floors.

Hans Im Thurn-Stokar constructed this summer residence in 1593, replacing an existing stone house to establish a new seat for the Schaffhausen regional administrator.

The castle's Knight's Hall contains a 1613 coat of arms fresco with a flower basket, signed by glass painter Hans Caspar Lang the Elder.

The castle remains in private ownership and visitors can only view the exterior structure, which includes a restored glass door entrance on the north side.

The first floor contains an elaborate wood paneling from the 18th century, decorated with paintings depicting regional landmarks such as Barzheimer Steig and Schloss Herblingen.
