Angenstein Castle, Medieval fortress in Duggingen, Switzerland.
Angenstein Castle is a fortress situated on a wide rocky plateau between Aesch and Duggingen in Switzerland. The structure spans multiple levels and offers views across the surrounding landscape.
The fortress originated in the 13th century when it belonged to the Counts of Pfirt. The structure survived multiple fires and underwent reconstruction afterward.
The castle embodies a protected Swiss cultural property and demonstrates how the region has maintained its medieval roots through time. Visitors today can see how this place has shaped local communities across generations.
The site is reachable from the village and offers pathways to explore the courtyard and chapel. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since the terrain is uneven.
A railway line runs underground directly beneath the structure and connects Basel to Delémont. This underground tunnel has been part of the regional transport network for more than a century.
