On Sunday, October 26, 2025 from 13:00 to 17:00 we celebrate the end of the season. Visit our castle museum and the new cabinet exhibition "Roots of Wisdom: Stories of Herb Women, Midwives and Witches". There will also be plenty to eat and drink: we will welcome you with homemade cakes and coffee in the beautiful banqueting hall. The castle park with its magnificent view of Bützberg and the Jura mountain range also invites you to relax.
MUSEUM
The museum provides an insight into the 300-year history of the first baroque castle on Bernese soil, from its beginnings to the present day. The exhibition focuses on Hieronymus von Erlach, who had Thunstetten Castle built as a summer residence in the French style. Another focus is on the last owner family, the Le Grand family, who lived in the castle for more than 100 years until 1970. You can find out how the patricians resided and represented behind the magnificent façade. Thunstetten Castle is a unique combination of princely splendor and rural simplicity. The exhibition is characterized by photographs and valuable contemporary documents, by the subtle use of the latest interactive museum technology, such as 3D "photo shows" and exciting stagings.
