Salenegg Castle, Maienfeld
Salenegg Castle near Maienfeld has begun its journey through history under a different name. It was called Prestenegg at the time. The construction of Prestenegg was commissioned around the year 950 by the prior of the Pfäfers monastery. Perhaps the unobstructed view of the opposite side of the valley from Maienfeld, which has long and full sunshine and is therefore much warmer, led the monastery brothers to decide to have a small sunny dependency for those of them who had "Presten" (ailments, probably gout and rheumatism). A servitude that formally existed until the monastery was dissolved in 1838 obliged the lord of Salenegg to keep the monks of Pfäfers free of food on a certain day of the year. This, as well as other evidence, indicates a close connection between Salenegg and the Pirmin monastery. In 1330, Prestenegg came into the possession of the Counts of Vaz, in 1399 into the possession of the Counts of Werdenberg, later into the possession of the Toggenburg family, and in 1594 it was bought by Vespasian von Sal is. At that time, the house was renamed Salenegg. Since 1654, Salenegg Castle has been owned by the Gugelberg von Moos family, who still live in the house today. The Salenegg Castle winery, the oldest winery in Europe, is also the cradle of wine culture in the Graubünden region. Over the centuries, everyone has done their very best to preserve the castle.
