Burg Bernegg ZH, Medieval castle ruin in Girenbad, Switzerland.
The castle ruins stand on a hilltop at 781 meters elevation, protected by a 40-meter steep slope on its north and northwest sides.
The lords of Bernegg first appeared in documents from 1229, and by 1283 they had to sell and demolish the castle due to financial difficulties.
The structure represents the medieval clearing castles built during the regional expansion period around Bachtel in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a short walk from the parking area beneath Girenbad, following designated paths to the historical site.
The castle's trapezoidal layout measures 25 by 13.5 meters, constructed with boulder stones, conglomerates, tuff, and sandstone blocks forming 2-meter thick walls.
