Schloss Oberhofen Wedding – A Private Lakeside Castle Celebration in Switzerland
Choosing the perfect wedding venue in Switzerland is about more than beauty — it is about atmosphere, privacy, history, and flawless organization. A Schloss Oberhofen wedding ceremony, located directly on the shores of Lake Thun in the Bernese Oberland, offers all of this and more.
As a proud partner of Schloss Oberhofen, Switzerland Wedding Company is honored to design and plan unforgettable wedding celebrations at this exceptional lakeside castle.
Why Choose Schloss Oberhofen for Your Wedding Celebration?
Dating back to the 13th century, Schloss Oberhofen is an authentic medieval castle with centuries of history, refined architecture, and a truly unique lakeside setting. Today, it is also a museum, and we highly recommend taking an extra day to explore its exhibitions and gardens with your guests.
For couples dreaming of a romantic Swiss castle wedding, Schloss Oberhofen stands out as our first choice among Lake Thun’s three iconic castles:
- Schloss Oberhofen
- Schloss Spiez
- Schloss Schadau
While each castle offers charm, professional service, and breathtaking surroundings, Schloss Oberhofen is unmatched in privacy and outdoor ceremony possibilities.
A Wedding Venue for Both Elegant Simplicity and Luxury Celebrations
One of the greatest strengths of Schloss Oberhofen as a wedding venue in Switzerland is its exceptional flexibility. The castle is perfectly suited for both lower-budget weddings and refined luxury celebrations. Couples seeking an elegant yet intimate wedding can focus on a symbolic ceremony and aperitif on the private lakeside terrace, keeping guest numbers small while still enjoying a world-class setting. At the same time, Schloss Oberhofen offers all the elements required for a high-end destination wedding — historic architecture, exclusive lakeside access, fine dining, curated design, and seamless professional service. Whether your vision is understated elegance or a fully styled luxury wedding, Schloss Oberhofen allows you to invest where it matters most, without compromising on beauty, privacy, or atmosphere.
Complete Privacy on the Lakeside Terrace
Your Private Wedding Ceremony by Lake Thun
The lakeside garden terrace at Schloss Oberhofen is truly one of a kind.
It is the only castle in the Bernese Oberland offering a fully private outdoor ceremony space directly on the lake.
Unlike other venues, this space is exclusively yours on your wedding day.
The terrace features:
- A symbolic ceremony setting with uninterrupted lake views
- Large shade panels and covered benches for guest comfort
- An upper garden with ornamental plants and seasonal flowers
- Mature kiwi vines, fig trees, and pear trees adding natural charm
Following your ceremony, the same terrace becomes the setting for your wedding aperitif, with seamless access to the castle’s Speisesaal (dining room) as an elegant indoor backup.
