The Stunning Chateau Gutsch In Switzerland
By Marty n Lawr e nce B u l l a rd
Chateau Gutsch is one of the most famous landmarks in
Switzerland. This magnificent hotel was built on the site of
an 18th century manor house and hunting lodge in 1884. The
style was inspired by the mad king Ludwig II’s Bavarian fantasy
castles and due to its imposing scale can be seen from every
angle from the beautiful city of Lucerne. The 50,000 sq ft
castle-like structure boasts breathtaking views over the lake
Lucerne and the famous mountains that surround it. Originally
a vacation destination for Queen Victoria, Lucerne is steeped
in history and it IS that very history that inspired the décor.
