Dottenwil Castle, Medieval castle in Wittenbach, Switzerland.

Dottenwil Castle stands on a hill 1.5 kilometers north of Wittenbach, featuring corner towers and views of Lake Constance and Alpstein mountains.

Peter Graf constructed the castle in 1543, and merchant Konrad Atzenholz expanded the structure by adding corner towers at the end of the 16th century.

The castle operates as a museum since 1998, managed by volunteer groups who organize exhibitions, prepare food, and maintain the facilities for visitors.

The castle opens Wednesday through Friday from 14:00 to 20:00, Saturday from 14:00 to 20:00, and Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with free admission.

Two hundred thousand hours of volunteer work contributed to the restoration of this cultural property, which includes its own vineyard and contemporary art gallery.
