Hoh-Wülflingen, Castle ruin in Wülflingen, Switzerland
The castle ruins stand on a steep wooded ridge at 595 meters above sea level, three kilometers west of Winterthur's old town.
First mentioned in 1254, the castle became a Habsburg fief in 1264 when Rudolf von Habsburg acquired the Kyburg inheritance in the region.
The site received recognition as a Class B Swiss cultural property, marking its enduring importance to the regional heritage of Winterthur.
Visitors can observe deep moats and wall foundations at the site, which sits 320 meters southwest of the Alt-Wülflingen castle remains.
Five Roman coins discovered at the site in 1717 suggest the location served as a Roman observation post before the castle construction.
