Burg Wackenau, Medieval castle ruin near Bonaduz, Switzerland
The remains of Wackenau Castle stand on a forested promontory above the Rhine River, featuring stone walls and structural elements from its original construction.
The fortress was constructed to protect the strategic road leading to Digg and Trins, though no written records of its construction period have survived.
The castle ruins represent medieval defensive architecture in the Grisons region, demonstrating construction methods used during the development of Swiss fortifications.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a 20-minute walk from the designated parking area west of Bonaduz village, with guidance provided by Chur Tourism.
A panorama platform at the site provides views over the Ruinaulta canyon and the Rhine River, allowing observation of the surrounding geological formations.
