Burg Strahlegg, Medieval castle ruins at Lake Walensee, Switzerland.
The stone tower stands 6 meters tall with a square base measuring 10.4 meters on each side, constructed from roughly hewn limestone blocks.
The castle functioned as an outpost during the Näfels War until 1388, when forces from Glarus captured and destroyed the fortification.
Archaeological investigations in 1960 revealed that the site originally contained a Roman watchtower from 15 BCE during Emperor Augustus reign.
The ruins maintain direct line of sight with two additional watchtowers located at Filzbach on Kerenzerberg and at Biberlichopf.
The foundation displays six precisely executed steps, with the uppermost step positioned above the former beam structure.
