The castle, built in 1546, has a square tower with a hip roof. The Counts of Buchegg had a castle on the site until 1383, when it was destroyed by the House of Kyburg. The current building saw service as a prison and came into private ownership in 1863. It was restored in 1938 and was converted to a museum in 1956.[1]
