Freudenberg Castle, Castle ruin in Bad Ragaz, Switzerland.
The remains of Freudenberg Castle stand on an 84-meter-high rocky hill, featuring a trapezoidal keep and remnants of residential buildings within an 80-meter-long enclosure.
Built in the 13th century by the Wildenberg nobles, the castle faced destruction in 1437 during a siege by troops from Zurich, Chur, and the Grey League.
The castle earned recognition as a Class A Swiss cultural property of national significance, representing architectural heritage of the Sarganserland region.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by walking 30 minutes from Bad Ragaz train station via Pizolstrasse and Weiligstrasse, or 15 minutes from Troccadero pizzeria parking.
Since 1980, the castle grounds have served as the venue for the annual Quellrock Open Air festival, combining medieval architecture with contemporary music events.
