Schadau Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Thun, Switzerland

The castle stands near Lake Thun, featuring intricate architectural details, pointed arches, and decorative elements throughout its limestone exterior.

Three architects, Pierre-Charles Dusillion, James-Victor Colin, and Frédéric-Louis de Rutté, collaborated on the castle's construction from 1846 to 1854.

The Swiss Gastronomy Museum inside the castle presents exhibits that document the evolution of culinary traditions and cooking methods in Switzerland.

Visitors can access the castle grounds daily, with the restaurant serving meals and afternoon tea through advance reservations.

The castle displays the oldest surviving panorama from 1814 by Marquard Wocher, depicting a typical morning in historical Thun.
