Cagliatscha Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Andeer, Switzerland
The remaining southern wall of Cagliatscha Castle stands 20 meters high, featuring large uneven stones with squared corners on a rocky spur above Hinterrhein valley.
The castle construction dates to 1266 when the Bishop of Chur granted the region to the Freiherr von Vaz family who built several fortifications in their territories.
The name evolution from Castellatsch, meaning 'bad castle' in Romansh language, to Cagliatscha reflects the linguistic heritage of the Grisons region.
The castle ruins are accessible through multiple hiking trails in the Viamala Region, with different routes suitable for various experience levels.
Three of the castle's four walls collapsed after a fire during regional conflicts, leaving only the southern section as a testament to medieval architecture.
