Intro

Heidegg Castle is an important country estate of the Lucerne patriciate with a castle and park, forest and vineyards. Built around 1192, the castle was the seat of the noble Lords of Heidegg and the center of a manor and court.

Heidegg Castle is located in the Seetal valley near Lucerne. It is an important country estate with a castle and park, forest and vineyards. The noble residence of the Lords of Heidegg, built in 1192, has been the property of the Canton of Lucerne since 1950. The castle tour begins with animated tower cellar stories in the medieval cellar. In the living quarters on the 3rd floor, experience the Heidegg Home Story, amusing and informative audio stories about the last owners of the castle. Newly reconstructed curtains tell the story of the curtains and bring back the charm of earlier centuries. A dream castle with a marble run awaits younger guests in the attic.

At the suggestion of Chancellor Adenauer, the baroque palace garden was turned into a rose garden in 1952 and redesigned with roses and perennials in 2024. Special exhibitions, hands-on activities and a rich cultural program enliven the castle grounds.
