En un regard
Le château en bref
Liebburg is a castle in Lengwil (Oberhofen bei Kreuzlingen), in the canton of Thurgau, set in a large park. The estate belonged to the Constance cathedral chapter until secularisation, after which it passed into private hands in 1803. The present building probably dates from the mid-18th century, an earlier structure having been destroyed by an earthquake. It is a rendered block of three storeys under a hipped roof, surrounded by a crenellated parapet, with stepped gables and a pavilion-roofed tower topped by a weathervane in the shape of a gilded horseman. Major works were carried out from 1899 onwards.
