Sellenbüren / Ofengüpf, medieval castle site, Medieval castle site in Stallikon, Switzerland
The castle ruins sit on the Ofengüpf ridge, which extends into the Reppisch Valley, protected on three sides by natural defenses.
Archaeological excavations in 1950-51 revealed that the original structure dates from the Bronze Age and underwent modifications during medieval times.
The site belongs to the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property as a Class B heritage site, representing medieval defensive architecture in the Zurich region.
The archaeological site contains fragments of ceramic pieces, horseshoes, and arrowheads, indicating the castle's occupation until the 12th century.
The castle structure consisted of a wooden building on stone foundations without surrounding walls, suggesting a simple fortification with only wooden palisades.
