New castle Bümpliz, Manor house in Bümpliz village, Switzerland
Description
The New Castle Bümpliz is a manor house with symmetrical design and large windows, situated within landscaped gardens in the western district of Bern. The building displays classical architectural features characteristic of 18th-century construction and shapes the visual character of the neighborhood.
History
In 1742, Daniel Tschiffely commissioned architect Albrecht Stürler to design and build this manor house, replacing an earlier structure that no longer suited contemporary needs. This new residence was constructed during a period when such buildings reflected the social standing of their owners.
Culture
The castle served different functions through centuries, from a noble residence to a mental health facility and later as administrative offices.
Practical
The property is located at Bümplizstrasse 97 and now serves as a venue for ceremonies and weddings, which means visitor access may be limited depending on event schedules. It is best to check in advance whether private events are taking place to avoid disrupting ongoing activities.
