The castle, built in 1192, is one of the oldest preserved residential buildings in the canton of Lucerne. In the 17th century, the medieval country estate was expanded into a baroque castle. For centuries, it was the seat of various noble families. Since 1950, Heidegg Castle has belonged to the canton of Lucerne. Today, it houses a museum that provides insights into the history and life of the former castle residents. Particularly worth seeing is also the rose garden with around 130 historical rose varieties, as well as the castle park.

A small oasis on the beautiful Sempachersee. The newly designed bathing area with such a great restaurant and the new (from 2025) hosts Marco Helfenstein and Nadja Getzmann. They are so friendly and simply great hosts. Coffee, food, drinks can be found in many places, but with friendliness, there is that certain something extra! You can't drive past this!
