Wilhelmina, the collector
Overview
Intro
Public scenic tour with Wilhelmina von Hallwyl.
Hallwyl Castle has been a museum for around 100 years. The last owner of the castle, Wilhelmina von Hallwyl, talks about her special relationship with the castle on a tour.
Wilhelmina acquired the castle with her husband Walter von Hallwyl in 1874 and passionately devoted herself to its archaeological research and restoration. As a strong and determined woman, she brought Hallwyl Castle back to its former glory.
In 1925, Wilhelmina set up a foundation to open the castle to the public as a museum - a legacy that continues to have an impact today.
