Schloss Grüningen, Class B cultural property in Grüningen, Switzerland.

The castle stands on a plateau extending sixty meters in length, featuring a four-meter-thick square tower and a deep well measuring 18 meters.

The Lords of Regensberg acquired the castle and its associated town in 1209 as a fief from the Abbey of Saint-Gall, marking a significant power transition.

The Schloss-Museum houses permanent exhibitions showcasing regional artifacts and historical collections that represent the cultural development of the Zürich region.

The castle provides event spaces including a barn that accommodates 140 guests, with two dedicated rooms and parking facilities for 40 vehicles.

The castle underwent modifications in 1782 when sections of walls were demolished to prevent overshadowing the new neoclassical church steeple nearby.
