Wulp Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Küsnacht, Switzerland.

Stone remains of Wulp Castle stand at 573 meters elevation, featuring foundations of a tower and sections of the main defensive wall.

The castle originated in the high Middle Ages, with documented ownership by Eghart of Küsnacht during the late 11th century.

Multiple archaeological excavations between 1920 and 1982 revealed Bronze Age artifacts and evidence of ancient defensive structures near the castle site.

The castle ruins connect to hiking trails through Küsnachter Tobel, providing access from both Zumikon and Küsnacht directions.

Archaeological findings uncovered an unusual teardrop-shaped keep constructed in the 13th century before the castle's abandonment.
