Schloss Sandegg, Medieval castle in Salenstein, Switzerland
The stone structure rises on a hill in Thurgau canton, featuring architectural elements from different construction periods throughout its existence.
Documents from the 15th century indicate an early settlement in the 8th century when a Frankish land clerk named Sintlaz resided at the location.
The castle served as a frequent residence for religious leaders, including Abbot Albrecht who stayed there while his monastery remained in ruins after 1235.
Since 2005, access to the castle ruins remains restricted due to structural instability and risk of further collapse of remaining walls.
The castle met its end in 1833 when a fire broke out during renovation work while workers were drying fresh paint with excessive heating.
