Hohenrätien Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Sils im Domleschg, Switzerland.

The stone remains of Hohenrätien Castle stand on a rock wall rising 250 meters above the Viamala River near mountain pass routes.

Archaeological findings reveal continuous settlement from Bronze Age through Roman times, with a castle construction beginning in the 11th century.

The Church of St. John within the castle complex served as the main parish church for the Rhine River's left bank until 1500.

The castle grounds include rentable spaces for events, with the church, baptistry, and castle areas available for various gatherings.

The site initially contained a Roman temple, potentially dedicated to Mithras, before its transformation into an early Christian church.
