Burg Castle, Medieval castle in Burg im Leimental, Switzerland.

The stone fortress stands on elevated terrain in Basel-Country, featuring robust defensive walls and a chapel within its fortified perimeter.

Construction of this defensive structure began in 1250, during a period when noble families established fortified residences across the Swiss territory.

The Swiss government recognizes Burg Castle as a Class A cultural property, integrating it into the national registry of protected heritage sites.

Visitors can reach the castle by following marked hiking paths from the village center, with guided tours available through local tourism offices.

The castle maintains its original medieval defensive position, offering views across the municipality from its elevation of 47 degrees north latitude.
