What awaits you at Schloss Thun
Schloss Thun is more than just a museum. It is a place where the history of the town, power, everyday life and personal destinies come together. The historic rooms, the imposing Knights' Hall and the exhibitions provide an insight into the development of Thun and the region around Lake Thun.
The variety of guided tours is particularly appealing: They allow different approaches - classical, thematically in-depth or surprisingly narrated. In this way, the castle can be rediscovered time and time again.
