Spiez Castle Museum - experience 1300 years of history

The exhibition in the castle museum focuses on the former inhabitants of the castle. In the medieval residential tower, the life of Heinrich von Strättligen comes to life with a tournament and minnesong (13th century), Adrian von Bubenberg (1434 - 1479) can be seen on horseback in the Gothic parlors, and on the second floor you can meet Franz Ludwig von Erlach (1575 - 1651), his two wives and 37 children. A feast is prepared in the castle kitchen and danced to lute music in the baroque hall.

Enjoy the castle rooms and find out about times gone by. Timelines contextualize the castle's history and media stations invite you to delve deeper and study the details. Peepers with 3D views allow visual leaps through time and the hands-on stations bring past times to life - a great experience for children and families. Children between the ages of 6 and 10 can also complete a knight trail (no registration required).

Tip: If you climb the castle tower, you will be rewarded with a 360° panorama of the lake, mountains and vineyards.

The castle museum includes a store and a castle café (same opening hours as the museum)
