Castelberg Castle, Castle ruin in Ilanz/Glion, Switzerland.
The castle structure features a main tower measuring 9 by 9 meters with thick walls and stands four stories tall in the Grisons region.
Built in the early 13th century, the castle belonged to the Castelberg family, who served as knights under the Bishop of Chur from 1289.
The castle reflects the division of the Castelberg family into Protestant and Catholic branches during the Protestant Reformation around 1500.
The site remains accessible through hiking trails, offering visitors the opportunity to examine the rectangular ring wall surrounding the central tower.
Excavations in 1968 revealed red-tinted plaster on the walls, indicating the structure experienced a significant fire before its abandonment.
