May 30, 2025, Schloss Bottmingen

This well-preserved moated castle, one of the few remaining moated castles in Switzerland, dates back to the 13th century and was converted into an elegant Baroque country house in the 18th century with Rococo details, including stucco work in the Steinsaal. The castle is set in park-like surroundings, is completely surrounded by a moat and has a square plan with corner towers.

Bottmingen Castle is located on the new Castle Magic Route 114, a cycling destination. The picturesque castle is surrounded by a small but beautiful garden, and the building itself houses an excellent restaurant.

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.
