Schlossturm Pfäffikon

The Schlossturm Pfäffikon is a medieval defensive tower from the 13th century in Pfäffikon on Lake Zurich (Switzerland), which once served the Einsiedeln monastery as a granary and protective structure. The complex includes the restored tower, the baroque castle chapel and a moat. The tower today houses a tavern, event halls, a meeting room and a regional museum. The castle chapel presents a neo-baroque interior from the late 19th century.
