Education — Night at the museum
Night at the museum
Ghost stories at Thun Castle. Experience the castle on a night-time tour by lantern light.

Who knows the secret of the draw well in the castle courtyard? Did you know that people played skittles in the Knights’ Hall in the Middle Ages? Do you know the legend of the White Lady? Then it is high time that squire Gerold told you these and other ghostly stories on a night-time tour – complemented by historical facts on the building and running of the castle across eight centuries.
Led by a tour guide, you make your way through the darkened castle. By lantern light, the interiors look quite different than in daylight. The tour begins at dusk by the draw well and lasts 1.5 hours. Spine-tingling moments are guaranteed.
