Le château en bref

Tribschen Manor, on the shore of Lake Lucerne (the Lake of the Four Cantons) in Lucerne, is known above all for having housed Richard Wagner from 1866 to 1872. The estate is mentioned as early as 1425 under the name Tribschen Castle, already badly damaged at that time; the fortification fell into ruin at the end of the 16th century and was never rebuilt. The manor house and the Chapel of St Blaise were probably rebuilt in 1627–1628, at the initiative of the bailiff Ludwig Meyer. The estate then belonged to the Am Rhyn family, from the second half of the 18th century until 1930. Bought by the city of Lucerne in 1931 together with its park, it was renovated in 1932 and then opened in 1933 as the Richard Wagner Museum.
