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.

The ninth Swiss Castle Day

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.
