Thun Castle

Visit Thun Castle and learn exciting stories about the town and the residents of the castle in those days!

Since the 19th century already Thun Castle has been accessible as a museum. After extensive renovations in 2018 all floors of the historic building are now open to visitors. A journey through the castle is also a journey through the history of the town of Thun. Every floor of the museum is dedicated to a special theme. Also the four distinctive corner towers are accessible: Here you can enjoy – depending on the direction – a unique view of Thun’s old town, Lake Thun and the Alps.
 
Tip: An attraction for the young and old is the round well in the castle courtyard. It is over 30 meters deep! Throw a stone into the deep and wait until it reaches the bottom.
