Schwarzwasserstelz, Lowland castle in Fisibach, Switzerland.
The castle structure stands on a substantial rock formation directly overlooking the Rhine River at the northern edge of Fisibach municipality.
The Bishop of Constance acquired ownership of the castle in 1363, followed by the Tschudi family who held it from 1589 until its demolition in 1875.
The castle served as a strategic control point along the Rhine River, influencing local governance and territorial administration in medieval Switzerland.
The remains of Schwarzwasserstelz can be accessed through marked paths from Fisibach village, with informational panels explaining its historical significance.
The castle's destruction coincided with the construction of the Rhine Valley Railway, marking the end of its 500-year presence on the riverside rock formation.
