Burg Granegg

The castle ruins stand on a 688-meter ridge called Graneggle, featuring a circular bergfried base with walls measuring 2.50 meters in thickness.

Built around 1230, the castle remained inhabited until the 14th century, with potential ownership linked to the noble families Herren von Stoffeln and Herren vom Holtz.

The construction methods, including the use of Buckelquadern stones, demonstrate the medieval architectural techniques employed in German fortification buildings.

The remains of the castle include visible wall sections and foundation structures, allowing visitors to examine medieval construction techniques at close range.

The castle's strategic position overlooking the Christental pass made it an important observation point for monitoring regional movement and transportation routes.
