I could not visit the castle's interior (I think it is private). But the building, the garden and the view from all around justify the visit. Don't miss it if you happen to be around.

Impressive views of the lake and village...a day visit worth taking if you go to this area. There’s plenty around to see as well...

Beautiful castle in Rapperswil with a magnificent view of Lake Zurich. The grounds are very well maintained and the gardens are gorgeous. Popular for weddings.

Rapperswil Castle dates back around 1200 to 1220 AD and the name of the place Rapperswil is often referred to as the „town of roses“ (Rosenstadt). To get to the castle you can walk through old Rapperswil and climb a wonderful set of stairs up to the castle as we did it today.
