Hotel Schloss Shauenstein
Fürstenau, Switzerland

Set within the walls of a 12th-century castle in the Swiss village of Fürstenau, the hotel at Schloss Schauenstein offers a quiet retreat shaped by history, landscape, and material presence. Across the main castle and the adjacent Villa Schauenstein, nine guestrooms have been restored with care, each reflecting the character of its architecture while introducing a calm, contemporary sensibility. Stone walls, timber beams, and generous windows are paired with oak, wool, and natural linen in soft, earthy tones. Together, these elements create an atmosphere defined by stillness and clarity. More private retreat than hotel, where every detail supports a sense of rest and reflection.
