Altes Schloss Teufen, Medieval castle in Freienstein-Teufen, Switzerland.
The castle structure includes an Orangerie and stands on elevated ground, featuring distinct stepped gables and traditional Swiss architectural elements.
From 1452 until 1798, the castle served as a center of jurisdiction under Zurich's control, where nobles conducted court sessions for surrounding villages.
The property maintains its status as a Class B Swiss cultural heritage site, representing centuries of regional governance and architectural development.
The Orangerie section of the castle accepts reservations from May through October, providing space for private events with capacity for 36 people.
Court sessions occurred twice yearly at the village square, with nobles traveling from the castle via a specific pathway called Heerensteg.
