Burg Stein, Medieval castle ruins in Baden, Switzerland
The stone fortress stands at 445 meters elevation on a rocky promontory, commanding views across the Baden gorge and Aargau landscape.
Built before the year 1000, the castle changed ownership from the Lenzburg family to the Kyburgs in 1172, and later to the Habsburgs in 1264.
The castle served as an administrative center for Further Austria, housing both a bailiff residence and important historical archives of the region.
The ruins remain accessible for visitors interested in exploring medieval architecture and defensive structures from the Swiss medieval period.
Following its destruction by the Swiss Confederation in 1415, the castle underwent reconstruction from 1658 to 1670 before its final demolition in 1712.
