Bernau Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Leibstadt, Switzerland
The stone remnants of Bernau Castle stand on a hill, with foundation walls and partial structures remaining from its medieval construction period.
Built in 1157, the castle served as a residence for the nobles of Bernau before changing ownership to the Gutenburg family in the early 14th century.
The castle's dual chapel, constructed in 1672, now functions as the cemetery chapel of Leibstadt, maintaining its religious significance for the community.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through marked hiking paths from Leibstadt, with information panels detailing the structure's historical elements.
During the Swiss confederation's expansion in 1415, the border between Baden County and Further Austria ran directly through the castle's tower.
