For one day a year, all across Switzerland, 27 castles and palaces are opened to the public, with interesting programmes for all ages. Many Swiss castles are already open to the public, but this special day means that privately owned residences or castles that are used commercially can be accessed by the general public.
Every year there’s a distinct theme during Swiss Castle Day, to act as a common thread that connects the numerous events happening in castles all over Switzerland. This year, the ninth year of Swiss Castle Day focuses on music and feast. It's an ideal day out for families with kids.
On the occasion of the ninth Swiss Castle Day, the 27 member castles are putting on their own unique and exciting programmes for visitors. Here are a small handful of the confirmed castles in the 2024 edition of Swiss Castle Day:
This special day dedicated to castles happens just once a year, so visit the Swiss Castle Association site, choose a castle and enjoy yourself at the castle of your choice on Sunday, October 6, 2024.
