Intro
The tower, built around 1200 and inhabited by the bailiffs of Zurich, was extended at the end of the 15th century by the knight's house and the farm buildings.
Around 1200, the Lords of Hegi built a residential tower, to which the Lords of Hohenlandenberg added the mighty knight's house with the corner towers around 1460. Little changed in this impressive late Gothic appearance.
The castle has richly decorated interiors, reminiscent of the times between the 15th and 18th centuries. The armory in the tower used to be a place of politics. On the wall hang the coats of arms of the Zurich chief bailiffs who resided in Hegi from 1587 to 1805.
The castle has been owned by the city of Winterthur since 1947 and was also a youth hostel until 2000.
Since 2010, around 150 volunteers of the Schloss Hegi association have been running the facility with a tavern, a pro-spezie rara plant garden, private and public events, as well as museum tours with scenic interludes by its own theater group. The castle tavern and the museum are open on weekends from May to October.
