The castle would be owned by various private owners who would invest to maintain and renovate the structure and today it still stands today as a historical museum for all to visit.
The scale of the castle is immense and has stood strong ever since, I sometimes felt that no shot of Spiez was ever complete without trying to capture the water, the tower castle and the rest of its beauty. Using wide angled shots has been a long-time favourite of mine. Coupling this with a high ascent in height after a hike makes for some really cool views overlooking this beautiful town. I often search up fellow tourist suggestions about hiking routes with these views in mind. Exploring a town is wonderful but being able to see it in its entirety is a great way gain perspective. After reading about all the places I wanted to visit, it was fun trying to see if I could see them in distance by guessing.
