Hünegg Castle – Magical at Lake Thun

Hünegg Castle was commissioned by the Prussian Baron Albert von Parpart and his wife Adelheid von Bonstetten.
It was built from 1861-1863 in the style of castles in the French Loire Valley.

In 1900, the new owner G. Lemke-Schuckert renovated several rooms in the Jugendstil style.

Today, the museum is dedicated to the Historicism and Jugendstil movements and gives the impression that time has stood still since 1900. A carefully arranged public park surrounds the castle, with many native and exotic trees dating back to the time of construction.
