The sunsets from the castle or the bridge are simply spectacular

Anyone who has made it to the castle, which today only consists of a tower, should add another hour: a simple hike through the Bätzimatt der Linth nature reserve or along the Linth Canal is a real stunner! Further information: https://www.teddy-b.ch/excursions/baetzimatt-tuggen-sz-linth-ahoi/

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
