Castle ruin Resti

The stone tower stands at the foot of Hasliberges mountain, with remaining walls reaching toward the Alpine sky above Meiringen valley.

Construction of the fortress began in 1250 under Peter von Resti's leadership, requiring 50 years to complete the primary defensive structure.

The Knights of Resti operated this fortress as Habsburg vassals, maintaining control over five mountain passes including Grimsel, Joch, and Susten.

Modern steel ladders and information boards installed during the 2004 renovation allow visitors to explore multiple levels of the remaining structure.

The builders constructed this fortress from inside out, starting with the central core before expanding the outer defensive elements.
