Kropfenstein Castle, Castle ruin in Waltensburg/Vuorz, Switzerland
The castle structure follows the irregular edge of a cliff, with three stories and embrasures visible on the upper two levels of the building.
Built in the 13th century, Kropfenstein Castle served as a residence for the Counts of Kropfenstein until their lineage ended in the 15th century.
The castle represents medieval Swiss architecture and social organization as a Class A cultural property within the Canton of Grisons.
Visitors can reach the castle via a rock-cut path on its eastern side, which includes a protective parapet for increased safety.
The natural rock formation above the castle acts as a roof, protecting the structure from weather damage and maintaining its preservation over centuries.
