Schloss Wädenswil, Regional heritage château in Wädenswil, Switzerland.
The stone château rises on a hill near Lake Zurich, featuring a classical architectural design with symmetrical wings and large windows.
Between 1550 and 1555, Zurich authorities constructed the château after purchasing the Wädenswil estate from the Knights of St. John in 1549.
The château hosted religious debates in 1613 between city officials and Anabaptist representatives, marking its role in Swiss reformation movements.
The château now functions as Agroscope Changins-Wädenswil research station, focusing on fruit cultivation, viticulture, and horticultural studies.
The first director, Hermann Müller-Thurgau, developed the Müller-Thurgau grape variety, which revolutionized Swiss wine production in the 19th century.
