Ehrenfels Castle, Castle ruin in Sils im Domleschg, Switzerland
The stone walls and towers of Ehrenfels Castle stand at 761 meters above sea level, overlooking the Domleschg valley in Grisons canton.
The construction of Ehrenfels Castle began in the early 13th century, with the first documented mention of its lords appearing in records from 1257.
The castle maintains its status as a class A Swiss cultural property, representing medieval architectural techniques and defensive structures in the region.
The Swiss Youth Hostels organization operates the castle as an accommodation facility with 38 beds, making it accessible for overnight stays.
During renovations in 1933, the castle transformation into a youth hostel proceeded without archaeological documentation, resulting in lost historical information.
