Baldenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Sils im Domleschg, Switzerland

The stone fortress stands on steep banks of the Albula River, with thick walls measuring up to 2.1 meters and a four-story tower.

The castle's first documented mention dates to 1246, when Ebo von Baldenstein was recorded as its lord in official records.

The castle interior contains a grand hall decorated with stucco work and ceiling paintings depicting allegorical figures representing different elements.

While the castle remains a private residence of the Conrado family, visitors can view it from the Domleschg Castle Trail.

Following a fire in 1877 that destroyed much of the structure, the castle underwent extensive reconstruction that shaped its current appearance.
