The castle, built in the 13th century, was destroyed or damaged several times. For a short period, a corner of the castle was even used as a prison. The castle was also rebuilt again and again, resulting in many different architectural styles. Even today, in cooperation with heritage conservation, the castle is continuously repaired. The castle has been owned by the same family since 18XX. (Info from the castle lord).

Beautiful park. Cycling is also permitted here, which unfortunately leads to cyclists and walkers hindering each other on the narrow paths. I'll cycle around the outside next time.

This sacral wayside shrine is dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Flüe (after the village of Flüeli in the Swiss canton of Obwalden), but he is much better known by the simple name he himself used, "Bruder Klaus". He lived from 1417 to 1487 and is revered as a hermit, mystic, and peacemaker. The feast day of Bruder Klaus, who would surely have appreciated the simple yet dignified design here, in the calendar of saints is on March 21 (the day of his death). He is the national saint of Switzerland.

People are nailing signs to trees, they don't want cyclists there. The deer can't stand that or something 🤷🏻
