En un regard
Le château en bref
The "Schloss" of Langnau am Albis is a medieval residential tower (Turmburg) at the heart of the village, Alte Dorfstrasse 15. Square in plan, measuring about 6.7 m along each side, its walls incorporate large erratic boulders and rise to some 12 m, with an entrance at height that is original. Probably built at the end of the 12th century, it was enlarged in the 16th century (cellar entrance dated 1548, eastern annexe). It narrowly escaped demolition in 1954; the municipality acquired it in 1962, and it was then restored and converted into a dwelling in 1974–1975, and renovated in 1994. It can only be viewed from the outside.
