Buttisholz Castle, Medieval castle in Buttisholz, Switzerland.

Buttisholz Castle is a tall, blocky late-Gothic residential building with white walls, grey stone quoins at the corners and a steep brown tiled hipped roof with dormers and a weather vane. Most small windows have bright red shutters, and a painted coat of arms sits between two windows on the upper right facade. A lower extension with the same roof type adjoins it on the left, and a conifer stands at its right base.

Jakob Feer acquired the tithe rights and land of Buttisholz from the Constance cathedral chapter in 1526. Leopold Feer and his wife Anna Elisabeth Feer-von Heidenheim built the present castle in 1570–1571 as a late Gothic summer residence. In 1757 the childless last Feer heirs turned the estate into a family fideicommissum with primogeniture, passing the name Pfyffer-Feer zu Buttisholz to their successors.

The name Buttisholz comes from the Feer family, who acquired the tithe rights and the collature right of Buttisholz from the Constance cathedral chapter in 1526. Since 1757 the estate has passed through a family fideicommissum with primogeniture, and the heirs carry the name Pfyffer-Feer zu Buttisholz. The festival hall is sometimes used for concerts or meetings of the municipal council.

The castle stands in the municipality of Buttisholz in the canton of Lucerne, enclosed by a roughly 200-metre-long wall. The estate is privately owned and lived in, so visits are limited to the exterior; the festival hall opens only for occasional concerts and municipal council meetings.

The 4th floor rooms, furnished between 1815 and 1820, keep their original Biedermeier paper wallpapers, each room with a different pattern of stripes, flowers and borders; several wall cupboards are covered with the same paper. The roughly 40 × 50 cm printed pieces are mounted on jute over a wooden frame, and one wall alone had to be redone.
