New château, Manor house in Oberdiessbach, Switzerland
The new château exhibits Mannerist architecture with two lateral wings, mullioned windows, and a central stone building featuring a double-arched portico.
Albert von Wattenwyl commissioned the construction of this country residence in 1668, establishing one of the most notable French Renaissance structures in Bern.
The ground floor hall contains a grey-gold coffered ceiling and French tapestries depicting Arcadian landscapes, reflecting 17th-century aristocratic tastes.
The château remains in the possession of the Wattenwyl family after eleven generations and allows visits under specific conditions throughout the year.
The internal staircase design marked the first implementation of interior vertical circulation in Swiss manor houses of this architectural category.
