The romantic castle ruins with a Brätli place are located high above the town of Sax, with a view of the surrounding mountain peaks. The hilltop castle was first mentioned in documents in 1200 and has been a ruin since 1446.

The main tower and one wall are still standing. The rock is very striking, and the surrounding area, with several barbecue areas, is very beautiful!
