Two years ago, the experienced restaurateur, Brigitte Buser, took the helm at Binninge Castle. It was her goal to bring the estate closer to the people and to put not only the hotel but also the restaurant and the castle on the map. Today, she is proud of the condition of the castle and envisions an even brighter future.
"The castle was built in 1293, and this should be visible. I think, it would be inappropriate if everything were super modern. The interior of the castle should also tell its history. It has a royal ambiance, although no king ever lived here," says Buser. Guests can look forward to the hotel with 23 rooms, the bistro for aperitifs, the restaurant in the castle, royal seminar rooms and the castle cellar, all located in a magnificent castle park.
