Mörsburg Castle stands in a magnificent panoramic location on the hilltop to the east of Winterthur. It was first mentioned in 1241 as the property of the Counts of Kyburg. They had the castle extended around 1250 and had the early Gothic chapel built. In 1273, the Mörsburg passed to the Habsburgs, in 1363 to the Lords of Goldenberg and in 1598 to the city of Winterthur, which renovated the half-timbered storey in 1735 and added a banqueting hall. Today, the Mörsburg mainly displays domestic culture from the 17th and 18th centuries as well as a collection of weapons and glass.
