Schloss Blatten, Medieval castle ruins in Oberriet, Switzerland.
The square tower of Schloss Blatten stands on a rocky elevation near the Rhine River, featuring remnants of its original fortification walls and gate.
The castle was constructed before 1270 by the Abbot of St. Gallen, Berchtold von Falkenstein, as a defense against the Counts of Montfort-Werdenberg.
The castle structure represents regional architecture from the canton of St. Gallen and maintains its status as a class B Swiss cultural property.
From April to September, the Oberriet Ski Club operates a seasonal restaurant in the wooden building constructed above the preserved vaulted cellar.
The fortress changed ownership multiple times until 1799, when it was destroyed during the French War and partially used as a quarry in 1911.
