Schloss Weinfelden, Medieval castle in Weinfelden, Switzerland
Schloss Weinfelden stands on the southern slope of Ottenberg hill, featuring a 12th-century keep constructed on a prominent rock formation above Weinfelden town.
In 1180, Hartmann von Kyburg transferred one-third of the castle to Bishop Berthold von Bussnang of Konstanz, initiating a period of shared ownership.
The castle represents Swiss architectural heritage through its classification as a Class B cultural property, demonstrating regional construction methods and noble residences.
The castle sits at coordinates 47.5763875, 9.1086601, offering views of the surrounding landscape and Weinfelden municipality from its elevated position.
Following extensive renovations in 1972 by banker August von Finck, the castle was restored to its 1700 appearance through collaboration with heritage preservation experts.
