Reichenberg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Taufers im Münstertal, Italy

The massive stone keep of Reichenberg Castle stands on a steep hill, offering views across the Münstertal valley at 1500 meters elevation.

The bishops of Chur controlled the castle until the mid-12th century when a local baron took possession and used it as a base for regional operations.

The castle ruins represent the architectural and defensive strategies of medieval South Tyrol, displaying typical mountain fortification techniques of that period.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through hiking trails that start from the parking area at the beginning of Taufers im Münstertal village.

The castle structure demonstrates the medieval practice of positioning fortifications near its companion fortress, Castle Rotund, for enhanced regional control.
