History

The castle was probably built in the second half of the 13th century. Its oldest documented owner was the Kämmerer family, which owned it as of 1363. The castle was rebuilt during the 18th century into an early-Baroque country manor in the French style by Johannes Deucher.{{HDS|001195|Bottmingen}}{{cite web |url=https://www.basel.com/en/Media/Attractions/Leisure-time-excursions/Bottmingen-Castle |title= Bottmingen Castle |author= |date= |website= www.basel.com |publisher= |access-date=27 October 2020 |quote=}}
