Oberhofen castle is one of Switzerland’s most famous castles. The best pictures are taken from a boat! Inside there is a museum and a restaurant.
The pearls on Lake Tunn, the most attractive place on the boat, I can even say that this small castle extremely church is the most beautiful in Switzerland, the white walls very quiet, and few tourists.
This is a high-profile and low-profile castle, high-profile because when sailing on Lake Tune, the first glance will feel very amazing, absolutely beautiful, low-profile because its name is not loud enough, few tourists disembark from here. The castle towers and the newly renovated restaurant are very contrasting and beautiful places.
Oberhofen Castle is one of my favorite of the four, far less famous than Spitz or Thune Castle, which is often overlooked, and I just love its obscurity and romantic medieval style. The castle is one of the most charming castles in the state of Burn, built in the 12th century as the lord of Oberhofen. When the Duke of Chailingen ruled the area, it served as a fortress in the town of Thune. Later, due to the demise of the Chailingen family, the Hapsburg family lived in. After entering the 20th century, it was acquired by an American lawyer and set up a consortium. Oberhofen Castle is now a museum of history and open to the public. Its interior library, Turkish smoking room, kitchen and other decorations map the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque styles of various eras, and are highly praised by tourists from all over the world. Located next to the beautiful Lake Tunn, the Oberhofen Castle is impressive with its romantic medieval style and towering small towers. Walking through the different historical rooms, you can imagine the lifelike aristocratic life of the Bern people from the 16th to 19th centuries: elegant summer halls, Gothic-style restaurants and amazing weapons in the armoury. Imagine how wonderful it would be if you were listening to a concert in the concert hall and then pacing into the Turkish smoking room overlooking the lake and mountains. The chapel with its unique 15th century murals is still used for christenings and weddings.
