Hünegg Castle and its collection

Hünegg Castle
Source

Hünegg Castle, a Swiss heritage site of national significance, is situated in the municipality of Hilterfingen in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. This historic castle was built between 1861 and 1863 for the Prussian Baron Albert Emil Otto von Parpart. Over the years, it has changed hands several times before being acquired by the Canton of Bern in 1958.

Hünegg Castle as a Museum

Today, Hünegg Castle is home to the Renaissance Revival and Art Nouveau Museum. The interior of the castle has been meticulously preserved or recreated to give the impression that the 19th-century owners have just left. This offers visitors a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the grandeur of the past.
