I missed the castle ruins last time, but this time I just barely spotted them through the treetops. I did some research at home; it might be worth taking a closer look.

The Huwilerturm in Zug is the smallest of the four outer city towers and has a charming history. It was built around 1524/25 and was known for a long time as the "Hof-Turm" until it was bought by a citizen named Huwiler in 1697.

One of four preserved city towers. A small part of the former city wall borders its walls. Right next to the Huwiler Tower, there is a pretty park shaded by tall trees, which invites you to play and relax.

Huwilerturm, Zug The year the Huwilerturm was built cannot be determined precisely from documents, but according to Linus Birchler it was in 1524/25. Other sources give the year of construction as 1519 and name a master builder named Huwiler as the builder. The tower's current name does not come from this Huwiler, but from a later owner of the same name, who came into possession of the tower in 1697. The name "Huwilerturm" only gradually caught on, however, because the name "Hoof Thurm" (after the property "Hof im Dorf" or "Hof am Burgbach") can still be found on the Landtwing city map from 1770. For this section, see also the Zug New Year's Gazette 1983. Access to the Huwilerturm was originally via the battlement of the city wall on the city side on the first floor. It was not until 1826 that the tower was given a ground floor entrance - from the outside - and two windows. The outer ring of walls Six round towers, four gates and a passageway formed the new ring of walls. The total length was 850 meters and increased the size of the city from 0.4 to 2.8 hectares. In addition to the existing buildings such as St. Oswald's Church, the castle, the village residential and commercial district, etc., there were large undeveloped areas in the new city area for a long time.

Gesslerburg ruins The "nobles of Küssnach" and the lords of Silenen as lords of the castle Gesslerburg is the name of the medieval castle in Küssnacht. Like Hohle Gasse in Immensee, it is linked to the legend of Wilhelm Tell. According to the historian Aegidius Tschudi, it is said to have been the seat of Landsvogt Hermann Gessler. The ruins of the Gesslerburg have been owned by the Swiss Confederation since 1908. The ruins of the hilltop castle are located on a hilltop in the east of the village, above the village stream, which flows from the Seebodenalp into the lake. A path leads up to the Gesslerburg from the Knochenstampfe, a shed by the stream with a water wheel in which fertilizer was once produced. Despite archaeological investigations, very little is known about the origin and history of the castle complex. There is evidence of a nobleman named Recho from the second half of the 9th century, who donated his possessions in Küssnacht to the Benedictine monastery in Hof Luzern, along with other goods. An early medieval castle probably also belonged to it. The first documented mention dates back to 1263: «in castro nostro Chüssenach». In 1291, Küssnacht was bought from the monastery by Rudolf I of Habsburg. The lords of the castle, who were employed as bailiffs by the House of Habsburg, appeared as "nobles from Küssnach". Knight Eppo II (1282-1315) demanded taxes, duties and forced labor as a bailiff. In 1302 there was a dispute with the villagers of Küssnacht, Immensee and Haltikon, in which the bailiff is said to have almost died. Around the middle of the 14th century. The castle was destroyed by fire and then rebuilt much larger.
