1. Napoleon Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 68 reviews
The most beautiful castle at Lake Constance with authentic interior design and romantic park grounds. You will feel like you've been transported to the time of Queen Hortense and her son, Napoleon III. This is where the last French Emperor spent his childhood! Several personal items create an intimate atmosphere. Almost as though the former residents of the castle had only gone out for a short walk in the stately park.

The views from this place are breathtaking and the welcome is warm - even if you don’t speak German. You can only see the house on a guided tour, in German, but they give you an explanatory booklet in English or French with details of every room, so that you can follow the guide. Our guide was friendly, and seemed to have his audience gripped. He spoke very clearly, so I was even able to pick up some of the German. He related the various rooms to historical events and to other places and people, so you understood how Arenenberg fitted in to European history. The grounds are beautiful and it’s well worth doing the walking route recommended on the map provided. There are also temporary exhibitions. The gifts in the shop are well-chosen and a cut above the average. We didn’t eat lunch but the bistro looked good - they use their own and local produce, and their own wine. Many of the buildings form part of the canton’s agricultural college, as the estate was left to the canton, Thurgau, by the last owner Eugénie. Highly-recommended.
