Rotzberg Castle ruin, Medieval castle ruins in Ennetmoos, Switzerland
Rotzberg Castle ruin is a medieval fortress located on a hilltop in Ennetmoos with walls that still stand in places. The foundations reveal the original layout and show how the fortification was once arranged.
The castle likely began in the 10th century and served as an important fortification in the region for centuries. Decline came later, leaving the ruins visible today.
The ruins reflect how people used this elevated location across centuries as both a defensive structure and a landmark in the landscape. Today it reminds visitors how important such places were to the region's past.
The site is accessible from above and offers views of the surrounding area. Visitors should take time to examine the walls closely and explore the grounds around them.
