History & Philosophy
Schloss Wartegg looks back on a vivid traditional history. Built in 1557 by Kaspar Blauer von Wartensee as former manor, it has been used over time as refuge and exile. Also Empress Zita found refuge here after the empire ended
During the last renovations in 1929, staircase and Turquoise Bath using Persian lace techniques were integrated, after that the castle ruined visibly. 1994, the Mijnssen’s took over the castle and a large part of the park, and they renovated it to be today’s sustainable modern hotel.
The in 1860 arranged park nowadays enthuses visitors as national garden monument. The Foundation Landscape Park Wartegg, the Development Association Wartegg and Culture Association Wartegg enable artistic and cultural developments at the castle.
In midst of the beautiful Swiss nature, your hosts Imelda Senn and Richard Butz as well as the Wartegg team take care that you feel completely at ease. An inspiring atmosphere surrounds you during your sustainable stay at the castle.
