Burgdorf Castle, Medieval castle and museum in Burgdorf, Switzerland.
The stone fortress stands on a hill with its red brick walls and fortified tower rising above the Emme river valley.
Duke Berthold V constructed the castle around 1200, which later became the administrative center for the Counts of Kyburg until 1384.
The regional museum within the castle exhibits collections of local artifacts and maintains the heritage of the Emmental region.
The castle complex includes a youth hostel with modern accommodations, a restaurant serving regional dishes, and spaces for events.
The castle foundation offers virtual 360-degree tours, allowing remote exploration of the medieval architecture and exhibition spaces.
