Heidegg Castle is located in Gelfingen in the Lucerne Lake Valley in Switzerland, high above Lake Baldegg, in the middle of a largely preserved park and cultural landscape of national importance.

The oldest known residential building on Lucerne soil is hidden in today's castle tower, a stone house from 1192 (tree ring dating from 2013). It was expanded and raised into a Romanesque residential tower in 1229/30 and 1236/37 and in the 15th/16th. Century converted into an occasionally inhabited country estate. From 1678 onwards it was expanded into a baroque palace, initially with four corner bay windows, which were soon removed again. In 1688/98 the castle tower with its hipped roof and uniform yellow plaster was given its characteristic shape as a landmark of the Seetal. Those dedicated to St. The chapel dedicated to Karl Borromeo dates from the 16th/17th century. Century, the house with vaulted cellar and grain hopper from 1704, the farm from the 18th - 20th centuries. Century.

The museum in the castle tower is dedicated to the over 800-year-long history of Heidegg and its region. The permanent exhibition and residential museum of the Pfyffer von Heidegg family are enriched with special exhibitions and experiences. The rose garden, which was renovated in 2004/05, the Sieben-Brüggli-Weg through the romantic Burgtobel and the avenue with rest areas and play area also make Heidegg Castle and Park a popular excursion and local recreation location. Numerous halls and rooms can be used for events or rented.
