Bottmingen Castle is a moated castle, just like you would expect from a book. A small park surrounds the small chãteau from the 14th century. The park was once much larger. Today Bottmingen's public outdoor swimming pool is located there. The chãteau itself houses a well-respected, high-standard restaurant with an excellent reputation. The main building can be reached via two bridges. Unfortunately, the castle cannot be visited. However, it can be booked for parties and celebrations. Important! Be sure to check the restaurant's opening hours online.

Heaven! Who would expect to see a dinosaur on the Bruderholz? From the snout to the end of its tail, the thing is 23m long.

In addition to many other tasty things, there is supposed to be an aromatically sweet coffee Baileys here. It is worth one, no, two sins.

No visit to Bruderholz is complete without a detour to and up the water tower. Entry costs 1 franc per person (as of 2025). You can also pay with TWINT. A turnstile prevents more than one person from entering the tower at the same time. Warning! There are over 160 steps up to the platform. If you are not good on your feet, you should think twice. But the view from the top is worth every step when the weather is nice.
