Tschanüff Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Ramosch, Switzerland
The stone fortress stands at 1,248 meters elevation, featuring a five-story main tower and multiple residential buildings enclosed by defensive walls.
Count Meinhard of Tyrol granted permission to knight Nannes of Ramos to expand the fortification in 1256, leading to substantial construction.
The fortress represents medieval Alpine architecture with its bergfried design and demonstrates the influence of both Roman and Germanic building traditions.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked hiking trails through the Lower Engadine region of Graubünden canton.
The name changed from Ramos to Tschanüff in the 16th century, reflecting the Romansh language term for 'new house' to differentiate it from Serviezel Castle.
