Beroldingen Castle, built in the 16th century, was the ancestral seat of the noble Beroldingen family. It is not a fortress, but a beautiful country residence with a marvellous view of Lake Uri and the Reuss valley in the canton of Uri. It was built on the foundations of a previous property using stones from the immediate surroundings. For decades, the Beroldingen family played a leading role in the valley of Uri and beyond. As Beroldingen Castle was located directly on the Gotthard mule track, it served as a customs station.
The little castle can be reached on foot in around 30 minutes from Seelisberg Oberdorf (Seelisberg postbus stop, Tanzplatz) and offers a fantastic vantage point. Today, Beroldingen Castle is inhabited by an artist. From May to October, you can also visit the castle from the inside.
