Hünenberg Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Hünenberg, Switzerland.

The stone castle stands on a wooded hill between two streams at 440 meters above sea level, southwest of Hünenberg village.

Archaeological evidence reveals settlement from 1100, with the original wooden structure and stone ring wall serving as headquarters for the Lords of Hünenberg.

The castle represents a class B Swiss cultural property, featuring a massive tower with three-meter-thick walls and a palace built around 1200.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins through walking paths from the public parking area, with free admission throughout the year.

Excavations in 2006 revealed 68 Roman coins from 150 BC to 250 AD, equivalent to a Roman legionnaire's weekly salary.
