Mauensee Château, Water castle near Sursee, Switzerland
Mauensee Château stands on a small island in Lake Mauensee, connected to the mainland by a bridge at an altitude of 504 meters.
The first records of the castle date from 1184, when it was listed in the Engelberg Monastery inventory as a defensive structure on the lake.
The château displays Renaissance architecture with its limestone entrance door from 1700 and features Gothic windows across its three-story structure.
While the château remains private property of the Sigg family since 1998, visitors can explore the surrounding lake through hiking paths.
The castle includes a preserved domestic chapel in its northeast corner, connected by a wooden bridge to a tall tower containing latrines.
