    Tips

    Arlesheim offers four castles and ruins from the Middle Ages. The somewhat hidden Reichenstein Castle and the somewhat larger Spornburg Castle Birseck as a landmark of the place, which represents the "front" castle. There was also a middle and a rear castle, but only ruins remain. Access is through the Hermitage.
    The castle can be visited from mid-May to the end of September on Wednesdays and Sundays from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

      The ruins of Middle Birseck (also called Äussere Birseck) are a few remains of a castle about 0.5 km east of Arlesheim in the canton of Basel-Landschaft in Switzerland.

        The photo shows the super-telephoto view, but the playground with the view of the ruins is terrific.
