Gütsch castle, Castle hotel on Gütsch hill, Lucerne, Switzerland
The limestone structure stands at 540 meters elevation with white towers and steep roofs in a neo-gothic architectural design from 1901.
The building emerged from a simple inn in 1859, later transforming into a grand hotel that received notable guests including Queen Victoria in 1868.
The hotel incorporates design elements from Neuschwanstein Castle, reflecting the late 19th-century Germanic architectural influences in Swiss hospitality buildings.
Guests reach the castle via the Gütsch Funicular railway, which connects central Lucerne to the hotel through a direct mountain transport system.
The Turner Suite within the castle presents specific architectural features with circular windows and a rotunda structure facing Lake Lucerne.
