Yet the castle's most impressive asset has to be this formal dining room. With its soaring barrel ceiling, topped with a skylight, arched doorways, decorative woodwork and hand-painted murals, it is truly a space fit for a royal banquet.

In recent years, the castle has undergone a partial renovation, while keeping its original spirit, but there is still work to be done to return this once majestic residence back to its former glory.

One lucky buyer had the chance to do just that, when the house landed on the market via BARNES Suisse in February 2025, for CHF 3.2 million (£2.8m/$3.5m).
