ブッギンゲンの洞窟・トップ15

Badenweiler is a really pretty spa town! So many beautiful houses, restaurants, a botanical garden, a thermal spa... and a castle ruin!

The castle has a fantastic location. Be sure to take your camera :)

Nice view over the city

Beautiful castle with many buildings and open spaces. The entire complex is an impressive size. Of course with an interesting history, but the present is also exciting and almost resembles a crime thriller or Asterix: In 2019, a private international boarding school was to be built there by a Chinese investor. After strong resistance from citizens, the local council decided at the end of 2021 to make the castle city property. Public and social use is planned, the details of which are yet to be determined.

A visit is also worthwhile in the low season, when the restaurants and the thermal baths are a little emptier.

Nice little town with a wide range of possibilities: hiking, thermal baths, excursions in the area (Fribourg, France...)!

Finds and excavations indicate that as early as Roman times there was a watchtower on the hill at the site of today's castle ruins. The castle probably dates from the early 12th century and was built by the Lords of Staufen. Adalbert von Staufen built the castle house around 1100. Staufen Castle was explicitly mentioned for the first time in a document from 1248; However, the Üsenbergers, referred to in this context as landlords, never sat in the castle.[2] In the 14th century, a lack of money and unsuccessful feuds between the Lords of Staufen and the nearby city of Freiburg meant that Freiburg was able to gain influence over Staufen Castle.[3] SOURCE: Wikipedia
