グレンツァッハ＝ワイレンの洞窟・トップ20

Rötteln Castle is an imposing castle ruin near Lörrach, which was expanded in the Middle Ages into one of the most powerful fortresses in southwest Germany. The castle was the ancestral seat of the Margraves of Hachberg-Sausenberg and served as an administrative center before being damaged in the Thirty Years' War and later almost completely destroyed. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and landmark of the Wiesental valley, offering insights into the historical defensive architecture alongside its two climbable towers with a museum and a preserved bastion.

In 1997, the cantonal government decided to undertake the necessary restoration and preservation measures at the castle complex to preserve its historic features. After two years of renovation work, the Dorneck ruins are once again open to visitors. The view from the tower over Basel and Dornach is breathtaking.

Very beautiful castle ruins with a great view, always worth a visit.

Beautiful castle ruins with a great view and a steep climb coming from Lörrach. There is also a small museum and a souvenir vending machine! :-)

A beautiful and very large castle ruin high above Lörrach.

Rötteln is a place where the world of a medieval fortress has been unusually well preserved, from the imposing walls to the touching details of everyday life. Rötteln is therefore particularly worth taking a second and third look at the hidden treasures.
