For more than 1100 years, Laufen Castle at the Rhine Falls has witnessed many social and political upheavals. Not infrequently, due to its privileged location, it was itself the focus of disputes.
858: first mention
The Rhine Falls - at that time "big Lauffen" - gives the castle its name. The ancestral seat of the Barons of Laufen subsequently had many owners, including the Bishop of Constance, the All Saints Monastery in Schaffhausen and the Counts of Kyburg.

A complete experience of natural spectacle, cultural heritage and gastronomy awaits you at Laufen Castle at the Rhine Falls. Both the view of the roaring Rhine Falls and the historic walls of the 1200-year-old castle, which is part of the cultural heritage of the canton of Zurich, are impressive.

In the daytime restaurant "Castello", the former banner hall with its cozy fireplace and large terrace creates an atmospheric setting. Enjoy delicious specialties with a focus on regionality and seasonality in a historic setting. In the evening, in the "Bleuler Hall", you will be spoiled with varied culinary creations.

The Rhine Falls, illuminated in the evening, rounds off the experience.

From the tower room to the magnificent knights' hall: here you will find a dignified and historic setting for an unforgettable family or company celebration,

a lavish wedding or an inspiring seminar. The ideal place for celebrations for 2 to 200 people.

The visitor center of Laufen Castle with souvenir shop/ticketing and snack restaurant is the central point of contact for your discovery of one of Switzerland's greatest attractions. The glass lift, Känzeli, panoramic lift and Belvedere path are just some of the highlights. Individual visitors and groups will find a modern infrastructure, exciting and educational features in the Historama, a children's playground and a panoramic path to the viewing platform that is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.
Here you are very close to the rushing waterfall.
