St. Andreas Castle, Medieval castle in Cham, Switzerland.

St. Andreas Castle stands on a small hill on a peninsula along the northern shore of Lake Zug, surrounded by a 67,000-square-meter private park.

Archaeological findings indicate continuous human presence at the castle site since 400 AD, with Roman artifacts discovered during excavations in the surrounding area.

The castle represents Swiss architectural heritage through its Historicist design and holds national significance as a Class A cultural property of Switzerland.

While normally closed to the public due to private ownership, the castle grounds open their gates twice annually for visitors to explore.

The neighboring chapel site has maintained religious functions since Roman times, with records of an unnamed holy bishop conducting services there in the 8th century.
