Worb new château

The New Castle of Worb stands as a refined residential structure with symmetrical architecture and features characteristic of 18th-century Swiss design principles.

Franz Ludwig von Graffenried commissioned the construction of this noble residence between 1734 and 1737, with architecture attributed to Bernese designer Albrecht Stürler.

The manor represents the architectural preferences of Bernese patrician families during the 18th century, reflecting their social status and aesthetic sensibilities.

The property maintains its private status under the von Graffenried family ownership since 1985, following an extensive renovation of the entire structure.

The building holds designation as a Class B Swiss cultural property, marking its regional significance while distinguishing it from the medieval Old Castle of Worb.
