Thun is a charming town with many attractions and an interesting old town with a unique castle. This towers over the town, from where the view of the old town, the lake and the Bernese Alps is magnificent. The town was founded in 1200 AD by the Dukes of Zähringen. The town is also culturally important: thun.ch/kulturevents.html. Every Wednesday and Saturday there is a weekly market in the Bälliz, which is an integral part of the tradition of life in Thun.

Schadau Castle

Highlight • Castle

The majestic castle was built in its current form between 1847 and 1852 and was designed by the architect Pierre-Charles Dusillion, who trained at the Paris Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The magnificent complex with its castle park right on the lake shore is considered one of the most important works of romantic historicism in Switzerland. The city of Thun has owned the castle since 1925, which now houses a chic restaurant and hotel. You can find all information at schloss-schadau.ch/de.
