Brestenberg Castle

Brestenberg Castle was built in 1625 by Hans Rudolf von Hallwil and was later inherited or acquired by several prominent local families. In 1844, it was converted into a hydrotherapy clinic by Dr. Adolf Erismann, a military physician during the Sonderbund War. After closing in the early 1980s due to lack of investment, it fell into disrepair. In 1984, it was acquired by art collector Bruno Stefanini, who built an underground storage facility beneath the castle for his foundation’s collection. The castle itself remained unused. ==See also==
