Wülflingen Castle

Winterthur, Switzerland, Switzerland

---

Wülflingen Castle is a well-preserved 17th-century Swiss castle located in the Wülflingen district of Winterthur, canton of Zurich, Switzerland, built in 1644 by Hans Hartmann Escher vom Luchs as a more comfortable residence after using materials from the nearby medieval Alt-Wülflingen ruin.

It passed through prominent Zurich families like the Meiss and Hirzel, serving as a manor house with additions such as a northern wing in 1730, before facing threats of demolition in 1906 that led to its preservation by a cooperative and eventual acquisition by the city of Winterthur in 1911.

Today, the castle stands as a cultural heritage site with renovated interiors including a historic courtroom and halls, surrounded by protected lands, offering a glimpse into Baroque-era noble life in the region.
