Kefikon château, Medieval château in Kefikon, Switzerland

The stone château stands with its rectangular structure surrounded by former water defenses in the rural landscape of Thurgau canton.

Originally owned by vassals of Reichenau Abbey in the 13th century, the château changed ownership multiple times until the Escher family acquired it.

The château earned recognition as a Class B Swiss cultural property, representing the architectural evolution and social changes throughout Thurgau's history.

Located at Schlossweg 1 in Kefikon, the château functions as an educational institution since 1906, maintaining its purpose in modern times.

Following a fire in 1929 that destroyed its top floor, the château underwent reconstruction, preserving its historical significance for future generations.
