The castle houses a unique collection of paintings, many paintings by famous artists, and their value cannot be quantified in monetary terms. Every corner in Oberhofen is a work of art.

Moreover, the castle, built almost 1,000 years ago, continues to function and live to this day. To function not even as a museum, but as the most "ordinary" palace, the doors of which are open not only for monarchs, but also for any traveler and native resident of Switzerland.
