The castle was first mentioned in writing in 1265. The Freiherrenturm, built before 1200, is the oldest part of the castle. Its outer shells are made of mighty boulders. 1287 sold the last baron Rudolf III. for lack of descendants, the lordship of Wädenswil to the Johanniterhaus Bubikon. Wädenswil became a commander of the Johanniter. After the Reformation, the Johanniter sold the lordship of Wädenswil with all rights to the city of Zurich in 1549. In 1900 an initiative committee acquired the castle grounds and in 1902 established the Foundation for the Preservation of Alt-Wädenswil Castle.

Pfaffikon Castle History of the castle complex (castle tower) In the years 965/72 the German emperors donated the two farms Pfäffikon and Wollerau to the Einsiedeln monastery. The Benedictine monastery built a storage facility in Pfäffikon to store the population's donations in kind. In the middle of the 13th century, Abbot Anselm von Schwanden had today's castle tower built to ward off enemy attacks and to protect the income from the monastery lands. Since the complex repeatedly had to serve as an abbot's residence, residential buildings were built near the tower complex under the direction of Abbot Burkhard von Weissenburg at the beginning of the 15th century. From then on the castle was called the «Weissenburg». The complex was very important for Einsiedeln Abbey, as the following examples illustrate. In 1480 the abbot was elected here, and in 1577 it served as a place of refuge for the Einsiedeln monks for 7 months when the monastery and the village of Einsiedeln fell victim to a major fire. The "Weissenburg" also repeatedly received important visitors such as various Schwyz bailiffs and magistrates and the papal nuncio. The castle complex served the monastery as an administrative center until the 18th century and was finally replaced by the newly built baroque governor's office next to it. As a defensive structure, Pfäffikon Castle was not only subordinate to Einsiedeln Abbey, but also to the governors of the courts, the Lords of Rapperswil, the Counts of Habsburg, Zurich and Schwyz. As a result, the castle was involved in numerous military conflicts. Text/Source: Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlossanlage_Pf%C3%A4ffikon

The castle chapel of Pfäffikon The castle chapel of Pfäffikon. The place name Pfäffikon means "court of the priest". It is assumed that there was a building here on the shore of Lake Zurich, in which the clergyman who looked after the island of Ufenau lived, together with the associated area. The castle and the chapel, like the island of Ufenau, have belonged to the Einsiedeln monastery for centuries. Anselm von Schwanden, abbot of Einsiedeln Abbey from 1233 to 1266, had the thick tower built, which we can still see here today. It is believed that the tower served primarily as a granary for the monastery's growing agricultural crops. In the early 14th century, the town bailiff of Rapperswil attacked the storage tower in Pfäffikon, but the local population of Rapperswil then stopped him from plundering it. As a result of this raid, the tower was reinforced with a moat. Today's chapel dedicated to Saint Eustace was consecrated in 1568. Eustace is an early Christian martyr who died around 118 AD. In 1798, French troops plundered the church. The present interior dates from the late 19th century. The neo-baroque altars were created in the monastery workshop in Einsiedeln. The canteen of the high altar now serves as a people's altar. The relics of Saint Pope Clement of Rome are said to be in this canteen. A look at the left side altar brings us back to the island of Ufenau. Here we see relics of St. Adalrich, who - as we have heard - worked as a priest on the island in the 10th century.
