Schloss Meienberg mit Ökonomiegebäuden und Park

The castle complex incorporates economy buildings and gardens across the Meienberg hill, featuring classical architecture and stone facades with decorative window frames.

Built in 1828 by Johann Jakob Staub, the estate expanded through land acquisitions and later belonged to industrial families during Switzerland's nineteenth-century industrialization period.

The property represents the transition period when factory owners from Rapperswil acquired land in Jona, leading to the construction of industrial estates like Meienberg.

The privately owned castle and its grounds remain closed to general public access, though specific arrangements for visits may be made through local authorities.

The central pond within the extensive landscaped park combines with the classical architecture to create an example of early nineteenth-century Swiss industrial estate design.
