The castle ruins of Castell - once one of the largest of its kind in the Lake Constance area - are located above Tägerwilen. Today, together with Castell Castle, which was built later, it forms a unique cultural monument.

In summer 2008 the tower was equipped with a viewing platform. The association "Friends of the Castell ruins" was founded for the management of this facility and various other tasks that the Castell ruin entails.
