Thun Castle

4.5/5(6 reviews)

Within the old stone walls of this 12th-century castle is a fascinating museum dedicated to Thun's ancient past.

Thun Castle
The pearl of Lake Thun-Schadau Castle. An incomparable location with lush green gardens, this castle looked as if it has just popped out of a Harry Potter series or some other fairy tale book. I wish I could be a Snow White or a Rapunzel to be swept off my feet by my Prince Charming here.
