Schloss Luxburg, Medieval castle in Egnach, Switzerland

The castle features steep gable roofs, multiple ornate windows, and an octagonal corner tower overlooking Lake Constance from its elevated position.

In 1493, Lindau Mayor Oswald Kröll III commissioned the construction of the eastern section, establishing the foundation of the current structure.

The castle maintains its status as a Class B Swiss cultural property, representing regional architectural heritage through its preserved medieval elements.

Local residents formed IG Schloss Luxburg in 2022, initiating plans to transform the structure into a boutique hotel with a bistro.

The castle originally stood on Niderstad island but now sits 200 meters from the shore due to natural sedimentation processes.
