The New Château is a baroque building in Gerzensee located on the southern slope of Belpberg mountain with views toward the lake and distant mountains. The white-painted structure features regular window rows and classical proportions, now operating as a hotel with dining facilities.

The building is accessible as a functioning hotel where guests can explore the spaces and stay overnight. The restaurant and public areas welcome visitors for meals and events throughout the day.
