Museums in Thun

The medieval castle above the town of Thun is a striking focal point at the entrance to the Bernese Oberland region. This almost completely preserved symbol of power contains the Knights' Hall, one of the few surviving halls of its type from the Middle Ages.

Designed by Adolphe Tièche, the Grand Hotel Thunerhof was opened in 1875 as Thun’s largest hotel. Used as a hotel until 1948, this historic building is now home to the art museum, a café and part of the Thun city administration.
