Burg Pontaningen, Medieval castle ruins in Tujetsch, Switzerland
The remains of this 13th-century fortress include a tower with stone walls, measuring 6 meters on each side, situated at 1403 meters altitude.
The Pontaningen noble family first appeared in records in 1252 with Knight Wilhelm, who served the Disentis monastery throughout their existence.
The structure incorporates traditional Alpine defensive elements, including a drawbridge system and a protective moat carved directly into the mountain rock.
Located southwest of Rueras near Sedrun, the castle ruins stand between the Oberalp Road and the Rhine River, accessible through a short walking path.
The castle features an extraordinarily precise moat, cut into solid rock with remarkable precision, demonstrating advanced medieval engineering techniques.
