The Castle in Oberhofen, on Lake Thun, has everything from Louis XVI style garden rooms to Turkish smoking rooms, pictured above. It features a hodgepodge of designs, making it a museum of style, rather than a display of true castle authenticity. If you want to see a castle just like the royals left it, you'll have to head to Canton Aargau to the castle in Wildegg.
But either way, I still recommend Castle Oberhofen. It's two boat stops from Thun, or if you prefer to hike, about a two-hour hike away along the lake, passing through vineyards and forests (and up and down a few hills, as my legs are reminding me today). Just follow the yellow hiking signs to Oberhofen. And then relax and take the boat back.

Love the Turkish smoking room...and even the water color in the exterior shot looks Turkish (turquoise) to me!
It's beautiful. Worth the three flights of stairs :)
