Münchenstein Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Münchenstein, Switzerland.
The castle stands on a hill with stone walls, narrow windows, and remaining structural elements that demonstrate medieval construction techniques.
Built between 1260 and 1270 by Hugo II Münch and his son Hugo III Münch, the castle sustained damage during the 1356 Basel earthquake.
The castle grounds serve as a venue for local events, connecting residents with the architectural heritage of their region.
Visitors can access the castle ruins throughout the year, with multiple walking paths leading to the elevated position above Münchenstein village.
The castle changed ownership from the Münch family to Graf von Pfirt in 1280, leading to a complex feudal arrangement where the Münchs held it as tenants.
