Schloss Herdern

Herdern Castle rises in the village centre of Herdern. The origins of the complex date back to the Middle Ages. Particularly striking is the octagonal castle tower with its onion dome visible from afar, which decisively shapes the townscape of Herdern. Over the centuries, the former fortification developed into a representative castle. The combination of medieval building fabric and baroque architecture gives the ensemble its special character. Surrounded by the historic village centre, Herdern Castle is an important cultural and architectural reference point in the region. In addition to its architectural significance, Herdern Castle is also closely linked to the social history of Thurgau. The castle has served as the location of a social institution for many years and is an example of the transformation of historic buildings. The impressive complex combines history, culture and social development and is one of the most important cultural assets of the canton of Thurgau.
