Museum

Close to Lake Baldegg, high above Gelfingen in Lucerne's Seetal valley, sits Heidegg Castle, one of the most important country estates of the Lucerne patriciate. Let yourself be enchanted by the dreamy castle, the sun-drenched vineyards, the romantic ravine path, the chestnut avenue and the rose garden on the baroque terrace.

An experience for the senses
Start your visit to Heidegg with the animated tower cellar stories in the 800-year-old cellar. In the living rooms, you can listen to the "Heidegg Home Story", funny and informative stories from the life of the last family to own the castle. The rich furnishings and authentically reconstructed curtains give the rooms back the charm of earlier centuries. Younger guests can look forward to the iconic dream castle with marble run in the spacious attic and there is plenty for young and old to discover and do on all floors.

Celebrations and events
Events, concerts, weddings and conferences are just as possible at Heidegg Castle as quietly immersing yourself in the splendor of the colors and scents of the exemplary redesigned rose garden. Enjoy a glass of wine from our own vineyard and celebrate life at Heidegg. Whether at your own personal party or one of the many events in and around the castle.

The ideal hiking stop
There is hardly a path in the Lucerne Seetal, whether for pedestrians, cyclists or e-bikers, that does not lead to Heidegg Castle. These include the new Seetal Wine Trail, the Seetal Heart Loop, the Seetal Chapel Trail and many more. Visit the museum during opening hours and enjoy refreshments in the café. When the weather is fine, the Buvette on the Schlossplatz is open on Sundays.

Photo spot at Herzschlaufe Seetal
It is only a stone's throw from Herzschlaufe Seetal to Heidegg Castle. Take a cultural break here. The castle is also an ideal photo spot.
