Dierikon, Switzerland, Switzerland

---

Schlössli Götzental is a charming Renaissance-style small castle in the municipality of Dierikon, canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, built around 1584 by the prominent Lucerne patrician Jost Pfyffer von Wyher as a summer residence.

Over centuries, it served as a seasonal retreat for various Lucerne noble families, including the notable Landamann Vincenz Rüttimann (1769-1844), before passing through marriage to the Schwytzer von Buonas family in the 19th century, who established it as a fideicommiss in the early 20th century to ensure preservation.

Recognized as a Swiss heritage site of national significance, the privately owned estate features a restored chapel and grounds, maintained across seven renovation phases from 2004-2016 for year-round habitation while hosting occasional cultural events.
