Thunstetten Castle, Louis XIV style château in Thunstetten, Switzerland.
The castle features a main building with two long wings forming three sides of a courtyard, enclosed by a wall and entrance gate.
Constructed between 1713 and 1715, architect Joseph Abeille designed the castle for Hieronymus von Erlach, a colonel who served in French and Austrian armies.
The central salon contains ceiling paintings by Johann Brandenberg depicting military service scenes and the owner's return to rural life in 1715.
The Thunstetten Castle Foundation maintains the property since 1971, offering spaces for exhibitions, seminars, and private event rentals throughout the year.
The castle introduced the first baroque garden in the Bern region, designed according to André Le Nôtre principles with double rows of alleys.
