The Commandery of the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem is located in the municipality of Hohenrain. It is one of the oldest Hospitaller settlements in Switzerland. It was first mentioned in 1182/83 as a commandery. Parts of the complex, dating from the late 12th and 13th centuries, have been largely preserved as part of a medieval castle belonging to the Order. According to the inventory of cultural property, it is considered a cultural asset of national importance. Today it belongs to the Canton of Lucerne. Source: Wikipedia; see also Wikipedia: History

前回はお城の廃墟を見逃してしまいましたが、今回は木々のてっぺん越しにかろうじて見つけました。家に帰ってから調べたところ、もっと詳しく見てみる価値があるかもしれません。

small, sharp climb away from traffic...

A wonderful area on the ascent to Horben. In good weather, you can enjoy perfect views of the Alps.

Wartensee Castle is a real eye-catcher and the view over the battlements, the lake and the landscape is something special. Although the château cannot be visited, the owners have a heart for all those who would like to take a look behind the scenes. This means that the gardens and the chapel are open to the public. An absolute must-have.

A beautiful place. Postcard-worthy and a little romantic.

This castle is one of the most charming sights in the Lucerne Seetal and a vantage point over Lake Baldegg, the Alps and the impressive castle complex.
