    Somewhat hidden, behind the restaurant Löwen lies the castle ruins. Keep your eyes open!

    The old megalith tower is currently being renovated because it has been damaged over the centuries. Nevertheless, a powerful symbol in the middle of the village.

    Megalith = big stone
    Built by the Kyburgers around 1237, official residence of the bailiff. In the 19th century there was a nail forge on the ground floor in the tower.
    Restored by the Canton of Lucerne in the 1920s, extensive refurbishment from 2013
