That was the starting point for the writing competition.

This time, we're going back in time to Kyburg Castle.

Historically accurate starting point:
In 1864, Lieutenant Colonel Matthäus Pfau from Winterthur bought the castle and displayed his painting collection there.

Write a thriller; it can be spooky, mystical. Thrills are desired.
Because your story will be read on Halloween.
