Tagstein Castle, Medieval castle in Masein, Switzerland
Tagstein Castle stands on a hilltop in Masein, featuring stone walls and architectural elements that represent medieval defensive construction techniques of Switzerland.
The castle changed ownership in 1337 when the Vaz family line ended, leading to its transfer to the Counts of Toggenburg during medieval times.
The structure maintains class B status in the Swiss cultural property registry, reflecting its importance in preserving regional architectural heritage.
The castle is accessible through Tagsteinweg 3 in Masein, with visitors needing to check current access conditions before planning their exploration.
A fire in the 15th century transformed this once-inhabited fortress into the current stone remnants, creating a physical record of medieval life.
