Meggenhorn Castle, Neo-Gothic castle in Meggen, Switzerland
The castle stands on a promontory overlooking Lake Lucerne, with extensive grounds that extend to the lake shore through winding paths.
Built between 1868 and 1870 for industrialist Edouard Hofer-Grosjean, the castle design draws inspiration from the Château de Chambord in France.
The installation of a Welte Philharmonic Organ in 1926 transformed the castle into a significant musical venue in the region.
The castle museum opens every Sunday afternoon from April to October, with parking facilities available at the entrance gate.
A private jetty allows large steamboats to dock directly at the castle grounds, facilitating water transportation from Lucerne station.
