Nidau Castle

Located along the Zihl river, the Nidau castle is the landmark of the city. The Gothic and Romanesque features of its architecture are plainly visible in the tall spires and rounded stone towers. The castle was originally built of wood in the early 12th century and a decade later was remodeled in stone. The castle houses the Nidau museum which showcases interesting exhibits that give an insight into the culture and history of the region and the castle itself.
