Brandis Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Lützelflüh, Switzerland.
The castle remains stand on a rocky hill above Lützelflüh village, featuring stone walls and a defensive moat from its original construction.
Built in 1230, the castle served as the headquarters for the Freiherren von Brandis family who controlled territories in the Emmental region.
The castle ruins represent an essential part of Swiss medieval architecture and stand as evidence of feudal power structures in the region.
Visitors can access the castle site through hiking trails that connect to the main village, with parking available at the base of the hill.
Following the French invasion of 1798, the castle was set on fire, leading to its current state as a preserved archaeological site.
