Solavers Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Seewis im Prättigau, Switzerland.

The stone walls of Solavers Castle stand at 1,058 meters above sea level, featuring Romanesque architecture and Gothic modifications throughout its structure.

The castle transformed from a fortified church in the Early Middle Ages to a nobleman's residence with the addition of a square tower in the 11th century.

The castle represents the transition from religious to military architecture in Swiss mountain settlements, combining both church and defensive functions.

Visitors need sturdy footwear to reach the castle site, as the path involves hiking through alpine terrain in the Prättigau valley.

The castle's 60-meter-long curtain wall protected a dual-purpose structure that served both as a parish church for Seewis and Fanas villages.
