Majestic Historic Estate With River Views And Charm

In Wagenhausen, Canton Thurgau, where the Rhine flows out of Lake Constance, the castle-like historic estate “Wassermusik” rises majestically above the river. Set on an elevated position south of the water, it offers spectacular views of the idyllic landscape and the imposing Hohenklingen Castle perched above the town. The expansive grounds stretch all the way down to the Rhine, where one can enjoy refreshing swims in the crystal-clear water.

“Wassermusik” consists of two separate residences, each with its own address, driveway, and entrance. The extravagant northern section with direct river access houses a luxurious private apartment, while the southern wing comprises three rental units, each featuring beautiful parquet flooring and a host of fascinating architectural details.

The nearby village center has a Volg store for everyday needs. Wagenhausen has effectively merged with the neighboring town of Stein am Rhein, offering a wide range of shopping, leisure activities, cultural events, cafés, and restaurants. The historic old town impresses with its exceptionally well-preserved medieval architecture and stunning façade frescoes. The train station is about a ten-minute walk away, and Zurich’s city center is just a fifty-minute drive.

First documented as a castle and originally built around 1530, the estate once served as the seat of the local governor (Obervogtei Wagenhausen). It has been extensively renovated in collaboration with the heritage preservation authorities, including the magnificent sixteen eighty-nine mural on the north façade.
