Ermatingen, Wolfsberg CastlePhoto: Thurgau Tourismus, Thurgau Tourismus
Along this scenic route there are still several visible historical witnesses of the Napoleonic family in Thurgau. The Napoleonturm, with over 200 steps and 36 meters tall, is part of it and offers a breathtaking panoramic view. As a finale, after arriving at Mannenbach Harbor, you can enjoy a boat trip back to Ermatingen or a destination of your choice.
What exactly do these historical sites have to do with Napoleon?
Castle and Napoleon Museum Arenenberg: Louis Napoleon, the later Emperor Napoleon III, lived here as a youth and young adult.
Castle Salenstein: It belonged to Charles Parquin. He was the one who, together with Louis Napoleon, took charge of building the Napoleonturm.
Sandegg Ruin: Only the foundations remain here since it burned down in 1833. Louise Cochelet, the chambermaid of Queen Hortense, bought Sandegg in 1817 for herself – until the castle came into Charles Parquin's ownership following his marriage.
Castle Eugensberg: Named after its builder Eugène de Beauharnais, the brother of Queen Hortense and the step- and adoptive son of Napoleon I. He could only visit his residence twice briefly before he died in 1824 at the age of 42. The path does not pass this castle.
Castle Wolfensberg: 200 years ago, it was a guesthouse of Arenenberg, run by Charles Parquin.
