Upper Castle, Schellenberg / Castle Ruins in Schellenberg There are two castle ruins in Schellenberg, the so-called Upper Castle being a very popular tourist destination and accessible after a short walk. The upper and larger complex in the Hinterschloss district of Schellenberg was built from 1200 onwards and already possessed all the important elements of a medieval castle. The Upper Castle was first mentioned in a document dated January 10, 1348. The Lower Castle was built around 1250 as a smaller complex and only reached its final form and size after 1350. The first documented mention of this castle dates back to 1317. Presumably, both castles had been uninhabited since the 16th century and gradually fell into disrepair. Prince Franz Josef II donated the heavily overgrown ruins to the Historical Society in 1956, which subsequently had them researched and preserved.

The Construction History of Tostner Castle There is a very interesting assumption about Tostner Castle that it was a large, unfinished castle complex, of which only the ring wall, dating from the end of the 12th century/beginning of the 13th century, was built. The present keep, gatehouse, and palace (possibly also outbuildings) were built into these in the second half of the 13th century. This theory is supported primarily by the truly remarkable placement of the palace, which was placed right above the ring wall and occupies a remarkable position within the castle complex. During the Appenzell Wars, which raged heavily in this region, Tostner Castle was also severely damaged in 1405, but was rebuilt after 1408. The very spacious, yet sparsely built castle complex, was abandoned before 1616 and has since fallen into disrepair. The keep was restored in 1938/39, and extensive renovations followed in 1974 and 1980.

It is beautiful here

Well preserved and worth a visit, from here the rock band path is also recommended.

Great castle ruins with a tower visible from far away.

Smaller than the other ruins, but also definitely worth seeing, especially the bread oven.

Beautiful, well-kept castle ruins on the rocky path. The ideal place for a relaxing break. 🥰
