Beuggen Castle

Beuggen Castle is a medieval fortress alongside the Rhine with Gothic and Renaissance architectural features, centered by a distinctive tower structure. Stone walls enclose the courtyard, from which pathways lead through gardens and down to the riverbank below.

The castle was established in the 13th century as a Teutonic Knights commandery and later converted into a military hospital. During the 20th century it served as a children's home before its current use began.

The chapel draws visitors who join in daily services and experience the religious community that has inhabited the castle for centuries. The space remains a center of spiritual life for those who live and work there today.

The gardens are open for free visits and offer easy access to the grounds and riverbank views. Interior exploration requires advance arrangements since guided tours form the main way to see the historic rooms.

The grounds contain a Bible garden featuring plants mentioned in scripture, connected to the courtyard by a flower-lined path. A gravel beach along the riverbank offers an unexpected retreat right beside this historical site.
