Neu-Süns Castle, Castle ruins in Domleschg, Switzerland

The stone fortress features a round donjon rising five stories high with walls reaching 1.5 meters in thickness at its base point.

Built between 1250 and 1300 by the Vaz family, the castle first appeared in documents as 'nüwer Sünnes' in 1337.

The castle holds regional significance as a Class B Swiss cultural property, representing medieval architectural techniques in Grisons canton.

Located at 815 meters above sea level, visitors can observe the intact northern section of the tower with its remaining window seats and fireplace structures.

The castle's southern wall was deliberately destroyed in 1451 during conflicts between Schams valley inhabitants and Werdenberg-Sargans, leading to its permanent state of ruin.
