Intro
Reichenau Castle boasts a spectacular setting on the confluence of the Upper and Lower Rhine. The historic building is now being used by the Tscharner family as a winery.
Reichenau Castle was built in the 17th century by the episcopal Schauenstein family. This castle, with its picturesque setting on the confluence of the Upper and Lower Rhine, has a long history. The future French king, Louis Philippe I, taught at the reformatory which was housed in the castle. The three-storey main building at this classical establishment is home to many architectural treasures. Equally impressive is the garden complex to the west of the castle.
Reichenau Castle is now being used by the Tscharner family as a winery for wines that are considered to be straightforward and unfussy. The best way to discover and experience the castle is to go on a guided tour led by Gian-Battista von Tscharner, followed by a wine tasting.
