Hegi Castle
The former moated castle was the tranquil residence of noble families for centuries. Anyone wishing to visit Hegi Castle today can do so as part of a visit to the museum.
The well-preserved castle complex includes a residential tower of Hegi Castle, which was built around 1200, and the knight's house, which was added later, as well as a farm building. The interior transports visitors back to ancient times: The furniture, stoves, ceramic objects, stained glass and weapons tell the story of the period between the 15th and 18th centuries.
