Description
At the Spiez Castle Museum, you explore the history of a Bernese Oberland castle perched high above Lake Thun. In the historic rooms, you follow the transformation from a medieval fortress to the representative manor of prominent noble families. You'll encounter figures like Heinrich von Strättligen, Adrian von Bubenberg, and Franz Ludwig von Erlach, gaining insights into their daily lives.
Interactive stations, 3D viewers, and staged rooms bring the past lifestyle vividly and tangibly to life for you. Climbing the tower reveals wide views over Lake Thun, the vineyards, and the surrounding mountain landscape.
