Two castles called "Salenstein" originally stood nearby: the Ober-Salenstein Castle described here, and, on a spur of the same rocky ridge further down, the Nieder-Salenstein Castle, which was destroyed in 1599 (indicated in David Herrliberger's engraving as a wall tooth behind a tree) and is now completely ruined on the surface (near a farmhouse in the Hinderburg area). In roughly the same line, on the other side of the ravine, is the Mannenbach Chapel, which still exists today and is also depicted in Herrliberger's drawing. It is said to have been founded by the Lords of Salenstein in 1155, and contains medieval frescoes.

Super nice houses on a great route

One of the smallest communities in Switzerland owes its existence to the Bishop of Constance, Eberhard II. In 1251, he had a double-towered moated castle with a battlement built here. Today, only the two 33m high corner towers remain from the original castle complex. In 1837, the rest was significantly altered when it was converted into a palace. The palace is privately owned and unfortunately it is difficult to see through the trees.
