Where once aristocrats resided, live today managers
Where once aristocrats resided, live today successful lawyers, doctors, artists or managers. Most hide themselves and want to protect their privacy behind high gates. Thus, the famous opera diva "Lisa della Casa" already lives since fifty years secludedly in a castle on Lake Constance.

Than, there is an Austrian hedge fund manager who acquired a castle only a few east of Weinfelden two year ago. And the list goes on and on…

It looks like that these historic objects have pulled the attention of numerous prospective customers worldwide. However, like everywhere else in Europe, the conservation of historic buildings limits you as a new owner what you can do with your new acquired property. And with an investment that can rapidly reach the double-digit million francs amount, nobody wants to be told which changes are allowed and which are not. We all know that medieval castles are more difficult to maintain than for example new modern mansions. Regardless of that, the "Castle of Oetlishausen" in the Canton of Thurgau sold for USD 2,8 million not long ago. A little earlier, a CEO from a local company acquired the "Castle of Gümligen". At the beginning of 2009, a famous Brazilian writer bought one of the rare castles on Lake Geneva.
When it comes to the purchase of castles, the price often plays no role. However, this does not mean that people with a limited budget do not have opportunities to acquire one of the beautiful historic buildings. An example shows that the "Castle Glarisegg SA" located on Lake Constance was made into a place for "meeting and consciousness". Today, about 35 adults and children live in this castle. Artists have their own studios and even a school has found shelter. The price imagination of the sellers for the 530,000 m2 big property – that is roughly an area of five football fields wide – stood at 8 million Swiss francs. However, at the auction, the "Castle Glarisegg" sold for only 3 million. For somebody who loves the unusual, it is certainly an exceptional deal. However, most Swiss Castles for Sale are at least 10 Million Swiss francs.
