Unterhof Castle
Diessenhofen, Switzerland, Switzerland
Unterhof Castle is a medieval fortress in the historic town of Diessenhofen, Canton of Thurgau, Switzerland, first documented in 1185 as the seat of the stewards of Diessenhofen, with its oldest timbers dendro-dated to 1186 and prehistoric settlements on the site dating back to the Neolithic era around 4000 BC.
It served as a noble residence for the Truchsessen family from 1294, later pledged to the city in the 15th century amid shifting Habsburg and Swiss Confederate control, evolving from a defensive burg into part of the town's skyline alongside walls and the Rhine.
Recognized as a Swiss heritage site of national significance, the castle complex stands as a landmark within Diessenhofen's preserved medieval old town, now integrated into local tourism near the Rhine bridge and hosting exhibits of its archaeological finds.
