アムソルディンゲンの洞窟・トップ14

Beautiful little harbor with lots of activities...

The Amsoldingen Basilica, attributed to Rudolf II of Burgundy and Berta of Alamannia, was built around 1000 on the site of an earlier 7th-century church and shows Lombard architectural influences. Originally lacking a tower and transept, it later gained a tower in place of the southern apse, and its collegiate chapter was dissolved in 1484. The church underwent Gothic modifications, became a Pietist center under Samuel Lutz (1726–1738), and was renovated in 1978–1980; its crypt includes Roman spolia, and its stained glass windows by Max Brunner depict the Trinity.

The view from the castle's 4 towers is worth the climb.

The castle includes a museum, restaurant and hotel.

Because of the wonderful location on Lake Thun, the possibilities for excursions throughout the Bernese Oberland (traffic hub), for a boat trip on the lake and because of the small castle museum, a visit is always worthwhile!

Spiez - a tranquil little town, idyllically situated on Lake Thun in Switzerland. The town, surrounded by imposing mountains, contains a historical treasure - Spiez Castle. It rises majestically on the lakeshore and is a relic from times long past. The Spiez Castle Church, which has captivated numerous visitors since the 11th century, stands just as majestically on a hill. But Spiez has even more to offer - the picturesque old town with its winding streets and historic buildings is a real gem. The promenade along the lake invites you to linger and relax and also offers a breathtaking backdrop. And those who long for adventure can set off from Spiez on exciting hikes and excursions into the surrounding area. In this magical town, time seems to stand still and invites you to embark on a journey into times long past.
