Landshut Castle

The medieval stone building stands surrounded by water, featuring multiple wings, traditional Swiss architectural elements, and fortified walls encompassing an inner courtyard.

The House of Zähringen commissioned the castle in the 12th century, and it underwent substantial renovations between 1624 and 1630, maintaining its original foundation.

The Swiss Museum of Wildlife and Hunting resides within the castle walls, presenting exhibitions about Switzerland's natural history and hunting traditions through artifacts.

The castle offers guided tours, a café in the courtyard, rental spaces for events, and access to the Swiss Hunting Library containing over 9,000 specialized books.

The water castle maintains its status as the last intact structure of its kind in the region, surrounded by streams and an English landscape park.
