Ruins Schönenwerd, Castle ruin in Dietikon, Switzerland.

The stone remains of Schönenwerd stand on elevated ground, featuring remnants of walls that outline the medieval fortification's original structure.

Built during the medieval period, this fortification served as a strategic defensive position for monitoring movement along the regional trade routes.

The ruins illustrate medieval construction techniques through preserved stone walls and foundations that reflect the architectural methods of Swiss castle builders.

Visitors reach the archaeological site through marked paths from Dietikon's center, with information panels explaining the structure's historical elements.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered metal artifacts and ceramic fragments dating from different periods of the castle's occupation.
