What awaits you at Schloss Spiez

Schloss Spiez tells history in a special place: directly above Lake Thun, surrounded by vineyards and with a thousand-year-old castle church at the centre of the grounds. The historic rooms, the tower with a view of the lake and the exhibitions make the past tangible - from the early history of the castle to influential personalities such as Adrian von Bubenberg.

The castle museum offers a wide range of guided tours that allow different approaches: classical, thematically in-depth, culinary, ecclesiastical or biographical. All tours are professionally guided and can be adapted to the interests and needs of the group.
