Wartegg castle and park

Wartegg is a Renaissance château with stone walls and symmetrical windows set within a 13-hectare park. The property now operates as a hotel with a restaurant and overlooks Lake Constance.

The castle was built during the Renaissance and has shaped the landscape of Rorschacherberg since then. Its architecture reflects the building style of that era as it developed in the St. Gallen region.

Today the castle serves as a venue for exhibitions, concerts, and cultural gatherings that draw visitors from the surrounding area. This role shows how historic estates have become centers for shared experiences.

The grounds are accessible during opening hours, and the maintained park invites leisurely walks. Those wanting to eat will find the restaurant on-site, and accommodation is available for longer stays.

The castle contains a rare oval-shaped bathroom from the 1920s that blends historical design with modern comfort. This feature shows how old properties preserve their past while being actively used today.
