View of Ortenstein Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

In Domleschg, one of the regions in Switzerland with the most castles, the castle of Ortenstein rises imposingly on a rock. Surrounded by an impressive mountain backdrop, the result is a harmonious and romantic overall picture.

There is speculation as to when exactly the castle complex was built. It is assumed that the foundation stone was laid in the 13th century. Today, Ortenstein is privately owned.
