Schloss Weinberg, Medieval château in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland
The stone castle stands on elevated ground near the Ach river, featuring architectural elements from different periods and a central courtyard structure.
St. Gall Abbot Ulrich III established the fortress in 1077 on Roman castle foundations to control the Heerstrasse route between Rheingau and Rhaetia.
The castle museum displays an extensive collection of artifacts spanning 800 years, documenting the social changes and regional development of St. Gallen.
The château operates as a cultural venue with regular exhibitions, guided tours, and special events throughout the year in the restored medieval spaces.
Modern art installations by Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist create a dialogue between contemporary expression and medieval architecture within the castle walls.
