Marschlins Castle, Medieval castle in Landquart, Switzerland

This stone fortress features dual moats, a rectangular structure, and four round towers, with one tower measuring 11 meters in diameter.

The castle, first documented in 1324, changed ownership multiple times until Duke Sigismund of Austria acquired it and sold it to Ulrich von Brandis.

Three interior rooms display 17th-century carved paneling, coffered ceilings, and decorative elements that represent Swiss architectural craftsmanship.

The castle sits one kilometer northeast of Igis village and maintains its status as a Class A Swiss cultural property of national significance.

During the French invasion of Switzerland, the castle transformed into an army camp, later becoming a tobacco factory and silk spinning mill.
