Bernegg Castle, Graubünden, Medieval castle ruin in Calfreisen, Switzerland
The rectangular stone tower of Bernegg Castle stands on a hill south of Calfreisen village with walls measuring 11 by 13 meters.
The castle, first mentioned in 1231, served as the residence of the Lords of Calfreisen who were in service to the barons of Vaz.
The structure changed its name from Calfreisen Castle to Bernegg Castle when the von Sprecher family acquired it in 1428.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by taking a post bus from Chur to Calfreisen Dorf, followed by a 5-minute walk to the site.
The castle walls contain several arrow slits, with one on the south wall enlarged into a doorway for current visitor access.
