Meggenhorn Castle



Meggenhorn Castle (Schloss Meggenhorn) is a castle in Meggen near the Swiss city of Lucerne. It was built in 1868/70 by Edouad Hofer-Grosjean from Mulhouse and in 1926 equipped with a Welte Philharmonic Organ. It is surrounded by vineyards and is considered to be the municipality's symbol. Today, it is mostly used as a tourist attraction and reception venue. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

Meggenhorn is served by a landing stage on Lake Lucerne that is some 400 m walk from the castle. On weekends and some other days, the Lake Lucerne Navigation Company (Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees) operate several return sailings between the Bahnhofquai, adjacent to Lucerne station, and Meggenhorn.
