Oberhofen Castle
Oberhofen Castle is a lakeside castle on the shore of Lake Thun in the municipality of Oberhofen, Canton of Bern, Switzerland. The complex combines a 13th-century masonry keep with Bernese Baroque and mid-19th-century Romantic additions and today houses a museum branch of the Historical Museum of Bern.

As it stood in 1855
The shape it held in its prime.
Sited directly on the shore of Lake Thun, the castle is built around a roughly rectangular medieval keep (about 11 × 12.5 m) of very thick masonry, with later multistorey wings attached. A round water tower at the lake edge is topped by a tall, fanciful spire; a glazed Garden Room projects toward the water. Rooflines vary—steep gables, hip roofs, dormers and chimneys—while a 2.5 ha park slopes away to the south. At prime the complex is complete and occupied.
