Castielertobel Viaduct, Railway bridge in Castiel, Switzerland.

The Castielertobel Viaduct extends 115 meters across the Castielertobelbach valley, reaching a height of 53 meters with three main structural spans.

Engineers completed the initial stone construction of the Castielertobel Viaduct in 1914, later adding iron girders in 1942 to address stability requirements.

The viaduct represents a milestone in Swiss railway engineering, demonstrating the nation's determination to connect mountain communities through advanced infrastructure.

Located near Lüen-Castiel railway station, the structure served as an essential link on the Chur-Arosa railway line until its demolition in 2024.

The bridge required constant monitoring due to geological shifts, with measuring devices tracking the movement of its pillars throughout its operational lifetime.
