One of the best, most beautiful castles Ive seen in Europe! I love that it is very interactive & easy to navigate. There are so many amazing displays, information, and picturesque rooms. A must visit for history enthusiasts.
Nestled beside a serene lake, the castle stands in majestic splendour, its silhouette reflected in the tranquil waters. The lake, shimmering under the natural light, enhances the castle’s beauty and offers a peaceful retreat. Graceful mountains encircle the lake and castle, their presence inspiring awe and accentuating the harmony between architecture and nature. This setting showcases nature at its very best, combining water, stone, and mountain to create a truly captivating scene.
This is a charming place to visit, offering a variety of memorable experiences. The highlight is a stunning castle that combines historic architecture with modern renovations, creating a unique blend of the past and present. I particularly enjoyed the eerie ghost house attraction, which features detailed animatronics and immersive storytelling. Navigating the site is easy thanks to the well-marked bus routes, and the nearby lake offers breathtaking views, especially during sunrise when the water reflects vibrant colors. Overall, it's an engaging destination filled with beautiful sights and interesting attractions.
Went on a Friday with my parents and we loved it! The museum was very fun and interactive, we especially loved the kitchen section and the servants' quarters! The insides are also extremely beautiful and pared with the amazing view of Lake Thun :)) Also if your bank is raiffeisen the tickets are free!
TIPS: You can see most of it without buying a ticket, but if you want to see the garden, you'll need a ticket. The interior rooms are pretty boring. Overall, worthwhile to get ticket. Oberhofen Castle, on the shore of Lake Thun, combines neo-Gothic and Romantic architecture. Its oldest part, the round tower, dates to the 13th century, while later expansions in the 19th century added residential wings, steep roofs, turrets, and landscaped gardens overlooking the lake.
Beautiful castle inside and out. The gardens outside are gorgeous. There are interactive exhibits. My son really enjoyed the kids story with the mouse hunt throughout the castle.
Stunning castle with wonderful views of the lake, next to a well maintained and cute garden. The castle has 5 floors and take more than 30 min to visit. Every room is worth the trip Take your time!
Great visit, they had a lot of interactive rooms you could see what is going on at time rooms were remodeled in 1800's. Beautiful view of the lake.

We enjoyed a visit on a wet afternoon last week and was given a personal tour and demonstrations in English. The tour guides are all volunteers and very knowledgeable, lots of interesting and unusual exhibits still in working order too - fantastic! (note- payment by cash only)
If you're looking for a hidden gem in Switzerland, the MUMM is a must-visit! Our recent trip to the museum was made even more special by the English tour that was available on the day we visited. It was amazing to see and hear the century-old instruments that are still in great condition. One of the highlights of my visit was being able to wind the music box and control the speed of the music. It was such a unique and immersive experience that I'll never forget. The music played by these instruments is truly magical, and it transported me back in time. I even found myself tearing up at the beauty of it all! The museum's dedication to preserving these instruments is also very impressive. I appreciated seeing how they take care of these historic pieces, ensuring that they will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come. If you're planning a trip to the museum, besides taking the bus, I also recommend taking a morning boat from Interlaken west and entering the museum no later than 4pm to fully experience all that it has to offer. We stayed in Switzerland for 16 days and visited more than 10 museums. Overall, this was one of the top museum experiences we've had in this trip, and I can't recommend it enough!
One of the best museums I have been to! Learnt a lot about clocks and musical instruments from the knowledgeable staff who gave a very thorough guided tour. They are really fun and informative, and offered the guided tour in both German and English to cater to the audience when we were there. Everyone on the staff is a volunteer and they are really passionate and enthusiastic to share their love and knowledge with visitors. A must visit if you are in the Interlaken area and if you are fascinated as us by the mechanical workings of clocks and instruments!
Quirky find...we got a free tour I'm english and demos of lots of the music machines
Extremely interesting with very knowledgeable staff! The given tour lasted about an hour, and the staff was extremely passionate about all of the items on display. And all of the pieces were well maintained and in good working condition! Definitely recommended.
Very interesting tour by a passionate tour guide.
A must visit. Delightful display of some amazing mechanical inventions. Only open from 2-5pm and doesn't have an English guide every day so call ahead to arrange a visit and guide. All employees are volunteers and very passionate about the museum.
The MUMM, the Museum of Timekeepers and Mechanical Music is a beautifully located, entertaining and interesting small, but comprehensive Museum devoted to clocks, watches and mechanical music. The all volunteer local staff is quite knowledable about the object and will play the instruments for you. Opening hours vary seasonably call or e-mail before going, but open all days in the summer.
