Burg Bärenfels, Medieval castle ruin in Duggingen, Switzerland.
The castle extends across three distinct sections along a rocky ridge, spanning approximately 100 meters with multiple levels carved into natural stone formations.
Built around 1200 by the Lords of Aesch, the castle changed ownership multiple times before suffering extensive damage during the Basel earthquake of 1356.
The site represents medieval Swiss architecture and construction methods, with rock-carved chambers and numerous beam holes indicating sophisticated building techniques of the period.
Located at Bachstrasse 31 in Duggingen, the ruins remain accessible for visitors to examine the remaining walls and explore the multi-story cellars built into rock crevices.
The castle features an intricate system of chambers built within a natural rock crevice, incorporating the landscape into its defensive architecture.
