Wyher Castle, Medieval château in Ettiswil, Switzerland
The structure includes a moated fortress situated south of Ettiswil's center, featuring traditional Swiss architectural elements and fortified walls.
First documented in 1304 as the residence of Freiherr von Wediswil, the castle underwent major renovations around 1510 under Petermann Feer's ownership.
The castle now houses the Josef Zihlmann collection of religious art and represents a significant example of late-Gothic architecture in the Canton of Lucerne.
The castle functions as an event venue with capacity for 20 to 300 participants, offering spaces for weddings, business meetings, and cultural gatherings.
A fire in 1964 led to the canton's acquisition and subsequent restoration project, which included recreating the original medieval moat system.
