About this audio guide
This guide to Meggenhorn Castle, above Lake Lucerne in Meggen, follows Amélie Heine-Kohn, the Parisian noblewoman who bought the young château in eighteen eighty-six and remade it in Gothic style, chapel included. It traces the illness that nearly killed her and the stone monument she left behind in gratitude. The story also follows the château through the decades after her death, as it passed between industrialists before the municipality took it over. Best heard from the terrace railing above the lake.
