What awaits you at Schloss Oberhofen

Schloss Oberhofen looks back on around 800 years of history. The complex was particularly characterised in the 19th century, when it became the summer residence of a count's family. Today's castle complex combines medieval elements with romantic historicism, situated directly on the waterfront.

On a guided tour, you will experience magnificent rooms, private chambers, the impressive oriental smoking room in the keep and lesser-known areas such as the servants' quarters. The view over the lake and mountains is always a special highlight.
