The Fischburg was built between 1622 and 1641 by Engelhard Dietrich von Wolkenstein-Trostburg as a summer residence and hunting lodge. The castle has got its name from the numerous fish fisheries in its vicinity. In winter it can only be reached from St. Cristina. The alternative hiking trail from Selva ends at the Sasslong ski slope. The castle is privately owned and can not be visited inside.

If you ski down the Saslong on the red piste you pass the castle and make a short stop there.
