130. Bottmingen castle (BL)

The model is being restored in our workshops. At the end of the tour of the park, come and discover the work in progress in our workshop.

The castle stands on the banks of the Birsig river and was built around the 13th century. It was first held by the local lower gentry, but it was then acquired by patricians who, unfortunately enough, let the castle decay. The renovation of this architectural treasure was elaborated on the basis of ancient plans and views portray the way in which the castle had been originally conceived.
