Description

I took a walk in the park of the castle Landhut, on more time before it is closed for the Winter time. I hope you enjoy my work, as much as I enjoyed my walk into the history!

Landshut Castle is a castle in the municipality of Utzenstorf of the Canton of Bern in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
While there may have been an earlier Burgandian castle, Landshut Castle was probably built in the second half of the 12th century for the Dukes of Zaehringen. It was the seat of the Lords of Uzansdorf who ruled from 1175 until 1323. Under the Dukes, Landshut Castle was the administrative center of the leadership or township of Utzenstorf. When the Zaehringen line died out, the castle was inherited by the Counts of Kyburg.
Under the Counts of Kyburg, the castle was expanded and renovated in the 12th century. It was first called Landeshuothe in 1253.
