Wildenburg Castle Ruins, Wildhaus

The Wildenburg was built around 1200 by the Barons von Sax. In 1313 it was sold to Count Friedrich IV of Toggenburg, and in 1439 it was inherited by the Lords of Raron. In 1468 it was sold to the monastery of St. Gallen. Shortly after 1660, the Wildenburg was struck by lightning and burned down.

Since 1998, the Wildenburg has belonged to the political municipality of Wildhaus, now Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann.

The south wall is being secured

In January 2011, the renovation of the completely overgrown and decaying ruins of the Wildenburg began. Around 80 cubic meters, 60 tons of wood, were felled, flown away by helicopter and sold. The deficit was covered by the foundation of a holiday guest from Zurich. The restored Wildenburg was officially opened in July 2013.

Nice little ruin with a rest area and fireplace. From there you have a beautiful view over the valley and it is a good location to enjoy the sunset.
