Unspunnen Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Wilderswil, Switzerland.
The remains of Unspunnen Castle include a central round tower and sections of ring walls situated on a rocky elevation near Abendberg mountain.
The castle, constructed in the early 12th century, served as a strategic point to guard the medieval Lütschinenbrücke bridge near Gsteig close to Interlaken.
The meadow next to the castle ruins became the location of the first Unspunnen Festival in 1805, celebrating Swiss traditional competitions and customs.
Visitors can reach the ruins through the Castle Path connecting Unspunnen to Rothenfluh, with free access available throughout the year.
The castle changed ownership multiple times between noble families until 1529, when the city of Bern placed the property under direct administrative control.
