This well-preserved moated castle, one of the few remaining moated castles in Switzerland, dates back to the 13th century and was converted into an elegant Baroque country house in the 18th century with Rococo details, including stucco work in the Steinsaal. The castle is set in park-like surroundings, is completely surrounded by a moat and has a square plan with corner towers.

Bottmingen Castle is the only preserved moated castle in the Leimental. It was built in the 13th century, has belonged to the canton of Baselland since 1957 and is a listed building.

Today it houses an upscale restaurant and is also extremely popular for weddings.
