Who knows Jegenstorf Castle? Who knows where Landshut Castle lies? And who has been to Oberhofen Castle? Every October, the National Association of Swiss Castles organizes the national Castles Day. As always, there’s a diverse programme with interactive activities and history treats.

If you love exploring castles, we especially recommend visiting the one in Thun. Plenty of “Animals and Mythical Creatures”-themed interactive entertainment as well as a show of the ensemble Dragma with tidbits from their multimedia project “Song of Beasts” await. A special highlight: the castle’s 13th-century tapestry, which depicts all kinds of animals and mythical creatures! You can find an overview for Swiss Castles Day here.
