From Moated Castle to Architectural Monument

Description

On this tour, visitors discover details of the buildings that bear witness to the heyday and decline of Hallwyl: They learn how the artificial islands were created 700 years ago, why it burned to the ground in 1415, and how the complex was transformed into a prestigious castle.

A glamorous conversion around 1870 lasted only a short time before the then owners Wilhelmina and Walter von Hallwyl had everything rebuilt, and the castle became a listed building.
