Child-Friendly Castles in Switzerland and Germany

Child-Friendly Castles in Switzerland and Germany - Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany 

Traveling between Geneva, Switzerland and Kempten, Germany. What are some recommendations for castles that would be entertaining for kids 7-10 years old?

Ideally, I would like to find something within 30 minutes off of A1 in Switzerland and A96 and A7 in Germany (basically along a driving route between Geneva and Kempten).

I'm thinking not palaces or ones with long guided-tours, but rather some that kids can wander up towers to explore and learn, see some weapons & armor, and maybe a trebuchet :)
