Hallwyl is one of the most beautiful castles with ditches which remained to us, it éléve in the north of the lake of the same name. In the west of the island created by nature, the digging of a ditch in the horseshoe shape allowed the formation of a second small island, artificial this time. It is here that draw up the buildings of the fortress. As a whole, the installation of Hallwyl built on two islands of different surface corresponds to the type of the strong castle of plain such as XIe century knew it.
