Freulerpalast, Baroque palace in Näfels, Switzerland.

The Freulerpalast features a two-wing main building with painted shutters, stables, and a reconstructed garden from the 17th century.

French officer Kaspar Freuler commissioned the construction of this residence between 1642 and 1647, showcasing the wealth of Swiss military service abroad.

The Museum of the Municipality of Glarus occupies the palace since 1946, displaying regional artifacts, textiles, and exhibitions about local traditions.

The palace opens its doors from April through October, offering guided tours Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00.

The ground floor contains a Sala Terena with early Baroque vault decorations, while the upper floor presents a banquet hall with carved coffered ceiling.
