Thun Castle
Thun Castle is a medieval castle on a hill in the city of Thun in the Swiss canton of Bern. Built at the end of the 12th century, its large white keep with tall Knights' Hall and later Gothic residential wing now houses the Thun Castle museum and is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

As it stood in 1436
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall, plastered white cylindrical keep dominates the silhouette, flanked by slender round turrets with steep conical red clay-tile roofs; a large, steep pyramidal main roof with small dormer openings and long flagpoles rises from the central mass. Lower, interconnected steep red-tiled roofs form an extended administrative/residential wing at the keep's base. Narrow arched slit windows perforate the white masonry; the castle sits on a wooded hill above houses and trees, visible against a clear blue sky.
