Wildenburg Castle Ruins, Wildhaus The Wildenburg was built around 1200 by the Barons von Sax. In 1313 it was sold to Count Friedrich IV of Toggenburg, and in 1439 it was inherited by the Lords of Raron. In 1468 it was sold to the monastery of St. Gallen. Shortly after 1660, the Wildenburg was struck by lightning and burned down. Since 1998, the Wildenburg has belonged to the political municipality of Wildhaus, now Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann. The south wall is being secured In January 2011, the renovation of the completely overgrown and decaying ruins of the Wildenburg began. Around 80 cubic meters, 60 tons of wood, were felled, flown away by helicopter and sold. The deficit was covered by the foundation of a holiday guest from Zurich. The restored Wildenburg was officially opened in July 2013. Text / Source: Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildenburg_(Wildhaus)

This is the Rosenberg ruin, not Rosenburg (as mentioned by Martina, which is located west of Herisau near Ramsen). The Rosenberg, Rosenburg and Urstein castles were once a trio. Four-sided foundation walls up to a height of 5 m have been preserved. Inside and outside with barbecue areas.

Great castle ruin with a view and barbecue area.

Very beautifully situated with a beautiful view, a small detour from the 86 Rheintaler Höhenweg, it's worth it.

The well-preserved part of the castle is secured and includes two benches and a barbecue area with wood and a viewing tower. You can continue along the rock through a door, but there is a risk of falling! There are two paths to the castle, along the mountain ridge or, more adventurously, through the ravine.

Castle / Castle ruins Helfenberg, Gossau SG The castle was probably built in the first half of the 13th century. It was a residence of the Gielen von Glattbrugg family. In 1244, the castle was part of the foundation of the knight Rudolf Giel von Glattbrugg for the Magdenau monastery. The family continued to manage the castle - probably as a fief - and in 1341 the castle was rebuilt by the family. For knight Rudolf II Giel von Glattbrugg in 1244, who had founded the Magdenau monastery, the estate on which the previous building, the "castrum Helfinberc", had once stood, was part of his foundation. The castle was apparently already dilapidated at that time. From then on, the imperial monastery had servants manage Helfenberg. By 1388 at the latest, the Princely Abbey of St. Gallen was the owner of the castle complex. In 1401 it was besieged by the surrounding farmers, which ultimately led to the Appenzell Wars, in which the castle was completely destroyed in 1407. The complex fell into disrepair and then largely slid into the Glatt ravine. This was their last act after the Appenzell Wars. The castle complex, destroyed by the rebellious farmers, was then left to decay. The first excavations were carried out between 1935 and 1937. In 1939 the ruins came into the possession of the Oberberg cooperative in Gossau. Since 1964/1965 the ruins have been secured and preserved to their current state. The ruins are located not far from the Glatt gorge and not far from the Kolumbanshöhle. Access is only recommended on foot and with hiking equipment.
