Alt-Toggenburg, Castle ruin in Kirchberg, Switzerland.
The remnants of Alt-Toggenburg castle stand on a narrow ridge at 966 meters above sea level, featuring walls measuring 2.2 meters in thickness.
Built around 1044 by the Counts of Toggenburg, the castle suffered destruction in 1085 by troops from the Abbey of St. Gallen and underwent reconstruction.
The site includes the St. Idda Chapel, constructed between 1933 and 1934, which serves as a pilgrimage destination for religious visitors.
The castle complex extends 230 meters in length, with the central residential tower covering an area of 14 by 14 meters.
In 1747, the castle site transformed into a stone quarry, leading to the removal of substantial portions of its original structure.
