Oberhofen castle is one of Switzerland’s most famous castles. The best pictures are taken from a boat! Inside there is a museum and a restaurant.
The pearls on Lake Tunn, the most attractive place on the boat, I can even say that this small castle extremely church is the most beautiful in Switzerland, the white walls very quiet, and few tourists.
This is a high-profile and low-profile castle, high-profile because when sailing on Lake Tune, the first glance will feel very amazing, absolutely beautiful, low-profile because its name is not loud enough, few tourists disembark from here. The castle towers and the newly renovated restaurant are very contrasting and beautiful places.
Oberhoven Castle is my favorite of the four castles. It's far less famous than Spitz or Tuen Castle. It's often overlooked, and I like its obscure and romantic medieval style. Castle is one of the most charming castles in Bourne. In the 12th century, the castle was built as the main palace of Oberhoven. When Duke Chailingen dominated the area, it played the role of Fortress Tuen. Later, because the Chailingens died out, the Hapsburg family came in. After entering the 20th century, it was acquired by an American lawyer and set up a consortium. Oberhoven Castle is now a museum of history, open to the public. Its interior libraries, Turkish smoking rooms, kitchens and other decorations reflect the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and other times of interior decoration style, highly praised by tourists from all over the world. Located beside the beautiful Lake Turn, Oberhoven Castle is impressive for its romantic medieval style and tall towers.
