Hünigen Castle, 16th-century castle in Konolfingen, Switzerland
The stone castle features architectural elements from 1554, with multiple towers and a central courtyard surrounded by landscaped gardens.
Niklaus von Scharnachtal constructed the castle after a fire destroyed the original medieval structure, marking a new era for the region.
The regional cultural property maintains its heritage status while operating as a four-star hotel, preserving Swiss architectural traditions.
Located between Bern and Thun, the castle offers 52 rooms, conference facilities, and a restaurant serving Sunday brunches at 11:30.
The former residence of the von May family now functions as a seminar center where guests can rent e-mountain bikes to explore Emmental.
