One of the most charming castles in the state of Bourne, the castle was built as the lord of Oberhofen in the 12th century. When the Duke of Chailingen ruled the area, it served as a fortress of the town of Thune. The Hapsburgs moved in because of the demise of the Chailingen family. After entering the 20th century, a consortium was acquired by an American lawyer. Oberhofen Castle is now a museum of history and open to the public. Its interior library, Turkish smoking room, kitchen and other decorations map the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque styles of various eras, and are highly praised by tourists from all over the world. Located next to the beautiful Lake Tunn, the Oberhofen Castle is impressive with its romantic medieval style and towering small towers. Walking through the different historical rooms, you can imagine the lifelike aristocratic life of the Bern people from the 16th to 19th centuries: elegant summer halls, Gothic-style restaurants and amazing weapons in the armoury. Imagine how wonderful it would be if you were listening to a concert in the concert hall and then pacing into the Turkish smoking room overlooking the lake and mountains. The chapel with its unique 15th century murals is still used for christenings and weddings.
