Neutoggenburg Castle Ruins

Presumably, the ruin Neutoggenburg was built at the beginning of the 13th century as a replacement for the old Tokkinburg by Count Diethelm II.The Neutoggenburg marks a central place in the reign of "Tokko". With a family castle in the lower Thur valley, first mentioned in 1044, the Counts of Toggenburg became masters over almost the entire canton of St. Gallen, Vorarlberg and parts of Graubünden in the approximately 400 years of their eventful and often adventurous stories, albeit in constant dispute with the monastery of St Galls.1468 bought the monastery the lands of today's Toggenburg. The fortress began to crumble.

Who likes old ruins! Is that a must!

Wonderful ruin that still has several levels of the wall as well as walls and a great view of the Toggenburg. There are also two barbecue areas and an information board.
