La Tuor dals Mors / Mohrenturm, Zernez This is how the historian Nicolin Sererhard described the Morenturm in the 18th century. The exact year of construction of the tower is not known. It was probably built in the mid-13th century by the Moor family, making it older than the Swiss Confederation. As late as 1570, it was inhabited by an Albert Moor. After that, it was left to decay and later taken over by the municipality. How deep the foundations actually reach into the ground is left to the imagination, as is the legend of the underground passage to the Planta Castle of Wildenberg. The historical cellar vaults with the dungeons, accessible only from above, are known and accessible. Also characteristic is the ledge in the outer wall, which testifies to a reconstruction from this height and is still recognizable inside today.

Schloss Zernez / Schloss Planta-Wildenberg in Zernez Between the former Wildenberg farmstead and the present-day Schloss Planta-Wildenberg lies a long, history-rich path that could well pass as a film-worthy drama with a happy ending. The castle stands majestically on the plain below the church hill, marking the transition to the old village part Runatsch. Only the square tower is reminiscent of long-gone times. This medieval residential tower was probably built around 1280 and was owned by the lords Planta-Wildenberg. The unpopular castle lord Rudolf von Planta had executions carried out as a statutory judge, which earned him the ill will of the population. He was suspected of sympathizing with the Catholics, outlawed by the court in 1618, and sentenced to death in absentia. Under the leadership of his opponent Baptista von Salis, the Engadine people devastated his castle, but he fled. In 1627, he became an Austrian captain and ruled again in Zernez, to the dismay of the inhabitants, who had to rebuild it. Over the centuries, there were many changes of ownership: from the Bishop of Chur, Conrad Planta from Zuoz, Knight Rudolf von Planta, the Bezzola and Hemmi families, to the municipality of Zernez. Its current appearance was given to the castle through the renovation and addition of two further wings in the 18th century. Miraculously, it was spared from the great village fire. In 1985, it was acquired by the municipality of Zernez for use as a municipal building. Since 2007, it has housed the National Park administration. During the National Park Cinema Open Air, the castle courtyard transforms into a fairytale film set. The dramas now only play out on the screen and no longer behind the castle walls.

Rohan Fortress is a historic castle in Switzerland. The original structures were largely destroyed during World War II to make way for modern military installations, which were subsequently demolished. Today, only a few traces of the walls and foundations remain, testifying to the complex's ancient divisions.

The Tuor dals Mors, or Moor's Tower in English, is an old stone tower in the center of Zernez. It is privately owned and can be rented as accommodation. The tower's history dates back to the 13th century. Its name (presumably) comes from the Moor family, who had it built. It served as a storehouse for money, ammunition, and documents, as a residential tower, and even as a prison.

On the highest peak of the castle hill, which is well protected by steep rocks all around, some significant remains of the walls of the inner castle and its interior have been preserved, in addition to the restored keep. Sparse remains of the former outer wall show that the entire hill was once part of the complex. Access was from the east via a natural ramp; a suspected gate building in the northeast corner has disappeared. Near the entrance area stands the ruins of the church of St. Lucius, of which the north and west walls, the choir arch and part of the apse have been preserved. The church is not oriented east, but north-south. Extract from Wikipedia
