Intro
A tour of the museum is also a tour of the history of the former owners or those who lived in the castle.
A tour of the museum is at the same time a tour of the history of the former owners or those who lived in the castle. There are rooms that are staged as museums and those in which the former inhabitants can be felt. The 15th century chapel with its impressive murals can be rented for baptisms and weddings. At the top of the former keep is the Oriental Smoking Salon, the fumoir of Count Albert de Pourtalès. The count was a Prussian envoy in Istanbul. He had a spectacular interior in the Orientalizing style furnished for his castle, which he bought in 1844, and it was completed in 1855 according to the plans of the Bernese architect Theodor Zeerleder. The castle park, an English landscape park en miniature, offers a picturesque view of the backdrop of the high mountains.
On the 2nd floor are the sleeping chambers of the domestic servants who were responsible for the welfare of the count's family in the 19th century. The exhibition "Always at your service" shows the everyday life of the servants of that time in an impressive way.
Children from 4 to 10 years of age can search for mice on the "Mouse Trail" and receive a small surprise when they answer the questionnaire.
