Wildenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Bubendorf, Switzerland.
The castle features a fortified tower, preserved 17th-century paintings, and interior decorations set within landscaped gardens following English and French styles.
Built around 1200 by the Lords of Eptingen following land grants from the Bishop of Basel, the castle changed ownership multiple times through centuries.
The castle now functions as a cultural center for the Basel-Land region, hosting regular events and activities that connect visitors with medieval heritage.
The local council acquired the property in 1995, maintaining it as a public venue accessible through guided visits and scheduled cultural programming.
The castle grounds include an ancient oak forest where trees exceed 500 years, providing historical evidence of traditional agricultural practices.
