St. Andreas Castle

St. Andreas Castle is a privately owned castle located in Cham, in the Canton of Zug. The castle hill has been used since at least 400 AD, based on Roman artefacts found there. The site of the neighbouring chapel has been used for religious ceremonies since the Roman era. During the 8th century, the chapel site was used by a ‘holy bishop without a name’ for Christian services.

Today the castle and chapel are located on a 67,000 square metres private park. While the castle is privately owned, the grounds are opened to the public twice a year.

Address: Sankt Andreas 11, Cham, Switzerland, 6330
