The Multberg rises southeast of the village of Pfungen in the lower Töss Valley. The summit plateau, measuring approximately 45 x 25 meters, is protected by ditches on the west and east sides, and the terrain drops steeply all around. According to archaeological findings, Multberg Castle was built around the middle of the 13th century. Construction appears to have been carried out under time pressure and was rather makeshift. Whether the castle ever served as a permanent residence is questionable. Its builders are believed to have been the Barons of Wart, who at that time also owned the neighboring castles of Pfungen and Wart. The original name of the castle is unknown. Its destruction occurred in the spring of 1309. After Rudolf III of Wart had actively participated in the assassination of King Albrecht I of Habsburg the previous year, Multberg, along with Wart, fell victim to the Habsburg campaign of revenge under Duke Leopold I of Austria. The chronicler Johannes von Winterthur reports that he saw two castles burning at that time: they must have been Wart and Multberg. It's a bit of a shame that there is no information plaque on site about the former castle and its history. https://www.burgenwelt.org/schweiz/multberg/object.php

Quite a lot of motorbikes and cars on the road on Saturdays! Still okay.

Swiss National Museum, Zurich The Swiss National Museum houses a unique collection of Swiss cultural history and arts and crafts from its beginnings to the present day. The collection comprises over 870,000 objects and is divided into 14 collections. These collections serve as the source material and starting point for research and exhibitions.

History of the National Museum, Zurich The 19th century is generally considered the century of nations and nation-states. While the construction of memorials, monuments, and institutions progressed rapidly in other European countries, the young federal state of Switzerland was reluctant to consider a national museum. Such an undertaking aroused skepticism. There were also very pragmatic reasons: almost every canton possessed its own collections, reflecting the federalist nature of the young nation-state. It was Zurich National Councilor Salomon Vögelin who initiated the discussion about its establishment in 1883, inspired by the success of the national art exhibition at the Swiss National Exhibition in Zurich. After fierce disputes over the location, Zurich prevailed over Lucerne, Basel, and Bern in 1891. The young architect Gustav Gull utilizes various historicizing architectural elements from the late Middle Ages and the modern era: The Swiss National Museum was intended to be a creative unity between collection, exhibition, and architecture. The combination of the museum and the School of Applied Arts fulfills another important principle: to connect schools of applied arts with museums so that the past can serve as a model and inspiration for the students' work. Today, the National Museum Zurich is considered an exceptional 19th-century museum building and a monument of national importance. Opened in 2016, the new building by the Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein perfectly complements Gustav Gull's building wing. It houses large, flexible exhibition halls, a modern library, and an auditorium for public events.

Founding / National Museum Zurich National Museum Although for years after the founding of the federal state in 1848 it was not yet clear that Switzerland would build a national museum at all, in 1891 the canton of Zurich prevailed over the other applicant cities of Basel, Bern and Lucerne for the location of a new national museum at the federal level. The national museum was opened in 1898 in a newly built castle-like building by Gustav Gull to the north-west of the main hall of the main train station near what is now Platzspitzpark in Zurich. Eugène Ruffy led the festivities for the inauguration of the national museum on June 25, 1898: the cantons were depicted in 20 pictures, comparable to the guilds of today's Sechseläuten. Each canton had an "allegorical carriage" with it, which represented a special feature of the canton. The procession was led by a "magnificent carriage of Helvetia", and the last carriage was a carriage with "Turica, the protector of art". Zurich won a competition against other Swiss cities with the "Fairytale Castle" project. The building combines a wide variety of architectural styles and has therefore been controversial since its construction. The Federal Commission for the Preservation of Monuments, however, expressed itself in an expert opinion dated November 27, 1897 with the following words: "With the National Museum as a stand-alone building, Gustav Gull responded architecturally precisely to the task at hand. The chosen form of a "medieval castle complex" reflects history and makes the complex easily recognizable as a museum building. The building for national history forms an essential counterweight to the main train station, then as now the hub of progressive, forward-looking public transport. With its main courtyard, the complex opens up to the Platzspitz park, which forms a striking border between it and the city. With consistent construction around the main courtyard and the entrance courtyard, with a tight floor plan concept that deliberately uses exceptional situations, and with striking vertical accents, the museum is powerfully realized, an expression of the self-confident federal state."

The old castle tower of Regensberg is well preserved and you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view.
