Obertagstein Castle, Medieval hill castle ruin in Thusis, Switzerland
The remains of Obertagstein Castle stand on a small rock outcropping, measuring 15 meters on each side, with portions of the original ring wall still intact.
The castle, constructed around 1300 by the Masein/Rialt family, changed ownership multiple times before a fire in the 15th century led to its abandonment.
The castle ruins demonstrate the architectural practices of medieval Swiss nobility, featuring traditional defensive structures and residential quarters common in hill fortifications.
The castle ruins maintain protected status as a class B Swiss cultural property, with hiking trails providing access to visitors throughout the year.
Two standing tree trunks have integrated with sections of the castle wall, creating an unexpected fusion of natural and architectural elements.
