Bachtobel Castle, Manor house in Weinfelden, Switzerland
Bachtobel is a manor house in Weinfelden featuring rooms with original furnishings spanning the 18th and 19th centuries. The property includes a yellow Biedermeier room, an ancestors' gallery, and a wine cellar with historic collections.
The manor was built as a home for a winemaking family and passed through generations of residents who maintained it. The family established their way of life and economic traditions on the same property over multiple centuries.
The name comes from its location in a deep ravine that shapes the surrounding landscape. This setting reflects how Swiss rural life has been anchored to the land and its natural features over generations.
The manor can be rented for private events and gatherings with capacity for around two dozen guests. Visitors should book in advance since availability is limited.
A Steinway grand piano sits in one of the rooms where guests can play or listen to music during their visit. The wine cellar allows visitors to select bottles directly and enjoy them with their meals.
