Burg Oltigen, Medieval hill castle ruins in Radelfingen, Switzerland.
The fortress remains stand on a steep hill measuring 25 meters high, featuring an oval structure of 9 by 25 meters above the Aare River.
The castle served as the center of the County of Oltigen until 1410, when peasants destroyed it during an uprising and killed the last count.
The site contains an underground passage called Güggelisloch, extending 54 meters in length with an eastern entrance displaying architectural details.
The archaeological site connects to an unpaved road linking the hamlets of Oltigen and Oberruntigen, making it accessible for visitors.
Machine gun nests from World Wars I and II were installed at this location, indicating its continued military significance through different periods.
