Château d'Alt-Falkenstein
Balsthal, Switzerland
Balsthal, Switzerland
You ring the bell and hope the gatekeeper is home.
A museum displays various periods of local history.
The castle dates to the first half of the 12th century, which in my American friend's mind is ... "old! I want to see old!".

Neat place. Especially the rifle collection :).
thanks for this wonderful pictorial tour!
happy Wednesday!

Looks very comfortable inside for a castle. I guess I was expecting something Viking-ish. I guess they must have remodeled? :)
thank you so much for following CUT AND DRY.
I'm following you right back.
betty :)
I was thinking it would be more "cold" looking inside...Happy to see it with a more "warmer" look.
Love the picture going down the stairs....Thanks for sharing.
the wood definitely warms the rock up a bit. but i love the stairs most! :)
Alt-Falkenstein? Je suis surprise du bon état des lieux. As-tu déjà visité le Schloss Neu-Falkenstein à Balsthal? Ce n'est plus qu'une ruine... mais si romantique et on peu griller un cervelas dans la cour, sauf si l'herbe est trop haute :D:D:D ! C'est bien vrai que "alt" et "neu" ne sont parfois que des mots, qui ne descrivent pas tout! En ce qui concerne ces deux châteaux ça vaudrait la peine de rechercher pourquoi le vieux a été restauré et conservé et pas le nouveau !?!
Wow. Gorgeous! Although that electric chandelier doesn't seem very old. ;)
Thank you for the tour. It looks surprisingly cozy inside. I love the windows.
Not as much technology but similar to our lives
Great tour!If walls could talk....
I love the shot going down the stairs :)
What a great museum. Excellent photos too.
Living in the US, I sometimes miss OLD, I mean real OLD....
I will have to agree with most of the comments. The picture going down the stairs is my favorite. I also love all the wood tools on the wall. Great photos Allison.
Incredible. See? THIS is another reason I need to come visit.:)
