Thun Castle is a castle in the city of Thun, in the Swiss canton of Bern. It was built in the 12th century, today houses the Thun Castle museum, and is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
The castle was built between 1180 to 1190 by Duke Berthold V of Zähringen, who constructed the still preserved keep to the level of the Knights' Hall. In 1218 it was inherited by the House of Kyburg, and 1384 it was taken over by the Canton of Bern. The massive roof floor (1430-36) comes from the Bernese period. In 1429, an administrative and residential wing was added to the west of the keep, built in late Gothic style, and known as the "new castle".
In 2006, the castle was bought by the city of Thun from the canton of Bern. Until the end of 2009 the Bernese Oberland regional court was based in the castle.

The city of Thun, which is located at the lower end of Lake Thun, is the gate to the Bernese Oberland. The historic Old Town is situated about one kilometer from the shore of the lake, on the river Aare. There is a castle in the center of the Old Town that dates back to the 12th century and boasts a museum.
The first settlement arose on today's site of the city as early as 2,500 BC. The mighty castle was constructed by the Dukes of Zähringen. It has a fortification tower built between 1180 and 1190. The halls of the tower house a historical museum that exhibits artifacts from prehistory and early history as well as medieval objects, weapons and uniforms from the 18th and 19th century, a ceramic collection and a toy exhibition. The castle's most splendid exhibit is the restored Knights Hall, dating to the 12th century.
Further sights in the Old Town include the town church with its tower dating back to about 1330, the town hall from the 16th century, the Old Town itself and the numerous restaurants and cafés along the Aare River.
The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau rise majestically across Lake Thun, over which glides a historic paddle steamer. The castle and city church proudly dominate the late-medieval Old Town.

Thun es una ciudad y comuna suiza del cantón de Berna. Es la tercera ciudad más poblada del cantón de Berna, y el principal centro urbano del Oberland bernés. Hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2009 fue capital del distrito de Thun.
La ciudad se encuentra situada a orillas del lago de Thun. El centro histórico no se halla directamente al borde del lago, sino sobre un islote del Aar, que separa en dos brazos la ciudad.
Gracias al lago y la proximidad a los Alpes berneses, Thun atrae turistas desde principios del siglo XIX. En 1879, con la introducción del ferrocarril la región cogió un aire nuevo. Durante la segunda parte del siglo XX la ciudad se extendió hacia el oeste, donde se encuentran los barrios modernos y donde se encuentra también implantada la actividad industrial.
El nombre de la ciudad proviene del celta dunum, que significa ciudad fortificada. El lugar que hoy ocupa la ciudad fue habitado desde el 2500 a.C. La región de Thun formó parte del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico desde 1033, cuando Conrado II ganó el título de rey de Borgoña. Los emperadores confiaron a la familia de los Zähringen, centrada en Berna, la tarea de subyugar a los nobles de la Suiza central. Alrededor del año 1190, el duque Bertoldo V de Zähringen construyó un castillo en Thun y expandió la ciudad. Tras la muerte de Bertoldo en 1218, sus territorios pasaron a Ulrico III de Kyburgo.
En 1264, Thun recibió los derechos de ciudad y en 1384 la ciudad fue comprada por la ciudad-estado de Berna. Thun fue la capital del cantón del Oberland durante la República Helvética.(Wikipedia)

Es ist viel los auf dem Mühleplatz in Thun bei so lauen Sommerabenden. Leider habe ich das Stativ nicht komplett dabei, zur Not geht auch das Brückengeländer.
