Valangin Castle, Castle and museum in Valangin, Switzerland
The stone castle contains exhibition rooms displaying regional artifacts, medieval furniture, and defensive fortifications surrounded by thick protective walls.
Founded in 1150, the fortress served as a strategic military outpost protecting the Val-de-Ruz region and controlling access to Neuchâtel.
The castle museum preserves local traditions through regular lace-making demonstrations and exhibits dedicated to regional craftsmanship and daily life.
From June to August, visitors can tour the castle Wednesday through Saturday between 13:30 and 18:00, with extended Sunday hours from 11:00.
The underground dungeon from the 17th century remains intact, allowing visitors to experience the original prison cells beneath the castle.
