Horben Castle, Hilltop castle in Beinwil, Switzerland
The stone structure stands at an elevation of 818 meters on the Horben-Hochebene plateau near the border of Canton Lucerne.
Abbot Placidus Zurlauben constructed the building in 1700 as a rest home for the sacristan on the Horben hill elevation.
The interior received decorations in 1762 with wall paintings and rococo statues created by the Swiss artist Caspar Wolf.
The castle underwent a complete restoration in 1979 to preserve its historical features and continues under private ownership by the Borsing family.
The property includes the Chapel of Saint Wendelin and Ubaldus, which Prince-Abbot Gerold Haimb added to the grounds in 1730.
