Not far from Bonaduz, the ruins of Wackenau Castle (Romanesque Buccaniua) rise on a rocky outcrop surrounded by the Vorderrhein. The castle consisted of a tower and a residential building and probably served to protect the road to Digg and Trins, which led here over a bridge, the traces of which can still be seen today.
