Burg Dagestein

The castle features a five-story Romanesque keep constructed with sandstone blocks, surrounded by an inner courtyard and protective walls.

First documented in 1205 with mention of Megelaus of Dagestein, the castle later served as a granary and prison during the 16th century.

The Upper Chapel contains medieval frescoes of St. Michael and St. George, representing religious art from the year 1200.

The castle keep remains open to visitors during summer months on Sundays and holidays, with restricted wheelchair access to certain areas.

Archaeological excavations around the castle grounds have not found evidence of Early Middle Ages construction, despite its 12th-century documentation.
