The magnificent donjon with its 14-meter-high stateroom is one of the best preserved rooms from the Middle Ages. The castle's museum tempts with exhibitions devoted to regional culture, archeology and art.
The castle terrace offers a breathtaking view of the old town of Thun, the lake and the surrounding mountains. It's a real treat for lovers of history, culture and scenic panoramas.

Karl Peterman3 weeks agoWe were in the area on vacation and decided to take a train down to Thun and look around. The castle is very prominent on the skyline and looks quite interesting. We walked though the building and looked at the various displays which were well done. Centuries of history briefly summarized. The building itself is the main attraction. We went all the way to the top into the corner towers. The roof structure was amazing. Definitely recommend!
Mark Chester Goking3 months agoThe museum is underwhelming compared to Oberhofen and Hunnegg.
Also, the view is not good if you go up close. From afar, it is magnificent. 👌
Not easy to get here since you have to climb a ton of stairs.
Tommy Chen2 months agoworth going up to take a look and to see the city of Thun from up top. There is an elevator you can take to get to the Castle so you can avoid walking up the copious amount of steps. The elevator entrance is located along Obere Hauptgasse. As you walk you should see a sign for castle entrance with a bright lit walkway. It will lead you to a parking lot where you can take the elevator up. Be store to take the correct elevator as there are 2 and the castle and Church is on the 3rd level. It is Free to walk around the outside of the castle which I think it's worth it to see it up close and for the city views. There is a fee to enter the castle which we skipped.Nearby
