Radegg castle ruins, Castle ruin in Wilchingen, Switzerland.

The Radegg castle ruins stand on a steep spur of Rossberg mountain, with three sides dropping dramatically into the Wangental valley.

Built around 1200 as a defensive fortification in the Canton of Schaffhausen, the castle met its destruction approximately one hundred years later.

Archaeological findings at the site, including arrowheads and crossbow bolts, reveal details about medieval military practices in Swiss fortifications.

Visitors can access the ruins through designated hiking trails that lead to a rest area with a fire pit for outdoor activities.

The remains include a massive tower, a courtyard containing a water cistern, and defensive walls of varying thickness demonstrating medieval construction methods.
