The castle is really well hidden in the place and you can only find it if you look for it consciously. The castle complex was probably built as a moated castle in the 12th to 13th centuries.

The castle is unusually small, so that it is not noticeable behind the houses and would probably only be found by chance without signs (or the Komoot highlight) - you tend not to go to it specifically, in contrast to many other castles that you do sees from afar.

The castle is only open on Thursdays (April to October) from 6 p.m. or by appointment.

A small complex, more like a city wall

Grüningen is associated with a waiting room, not with a castle - surprise.
