Burg Grafenberg, Medieval castle ruins in Fläsch, Switzerland

The stone remains of Grafenberg Castle stand on a rocky spur overlooking the route between Saint Luzisteig Pass and Liechtenstein.

First documented in 1579, the fortress changed hands multiple times during the Swabian War of 1499 between Confederate and Imperial forces.

The structure earned the name Mörderburg from local tales of lords who allegedly robbed merchants and pushed them off the rocky cliff.

The castle ruins belong to the municipality of Balzers in Liechtenstein and maintain status as a Class A Swiss cultural property of national importance.

A fire in the medieval period led to the complete abandonment of this strategic fortification, leaving only its weathered stone walls intact.
