Burgruine Ramschwag, Medieval castle ruin in Nenzing, Austria

The castle stands on a hilltop with steep slopes, featuring a central residential tower and a ring wall enclosing a 42 by 38-meter courtyard.

The Knights of Ramschwag built this fortress between 1270 and 1290, which later transferred to the Lords of Landenberg-Greifensee and Count Rudolf von Montfort-Feldkirch.

The castle ruins maintain architectural elements from the medieval period, including the 1.20-meter-thick defensive walls and artificial earthworks on the western side.

Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked paths from Nenzing center, with the site offering informational panels about the medieval construction.

During the Appenzeller War in 1405, local farmers from Walgau burned down this castle along with Jagdberg, Blumenegg, and Rosenegg fortresses in a single night.
