Schloss Salenegg

Situated on the foothills of the Calanda massif, this ruined castle offers a beautiful view of the Rhine Valley, in addition to being an interesting outing objective in itself. Reaching it requires a certain but accessible effort.

Here you can admire the remains of Freudenberg Castle from the 13th century. Today this is a wonderful place for a long break. You can enjoy fantastic panoramic views of the Sarganserland and into the Graubünden region. The Quelle Rock OpenAir takes place here once a year.

Salenegg Castle, Maienfeld Salenegg Castle near Maienfeld has begun its journey through history under a different name. It was called Prestenegg at the time. The construction of Prestenegg was commissioned around the year 950 by the prior of the Pfäfers monastery. Perhaps the unobstructed view of the opposite side of the valley from Maienfeld, which has long and full sunshine and is therefore much warmer, led the monastery brothers to decide to have a small sunny dependency for those of them who had "Presten" (ailments, probably gout and rheumatism). A servitude that formally existed until the monastery was dissolved in 1838 obliged the lord of Salenegg to keep the monks of Pfäfers free of food on a certain day of the year. This, as well as other evidence, indicates a close connection between Salenegg and the Pirmin monastery. In 1330, Prestenegg came into the possession of the Counts of Vaz, in 1399 into the possession of the Counts of Werdenberg, later into the possession of the Toggenburg family, and in 1594 it was bought by Vespasian von Sal is. At that time, the house was renamed Salenegg. Since 1654, Salenegg Castle has been owned by the Gugelberg von Moos family, who still live in the house today. The Salenegg Castle winery, the oldest winery in Europe, is also the cradle of wine culture in the Graubünden region. Over the centuries, everyone has done their very best to preserve the castle.

Gutenberg Castle Long before Gutenberg Castle was built, the rock head was used by the people who lived here. The oldest archaeological finds date back to the Neolithic period (5th millennium BC). Nine found bronze statuettes from the younger Iron Age (5th-1st century BC), the so-called Gutenberg votive statuettes, indicate a pre-Christian sanctuary on Gutenberg. A cemetery was laid out from the 7th century. The chapel of St. Donatus, demolished in the 18th century, was probably built at the same time. The medieval castle itself was probably built around 1200. From the end of the 13th century it was owned by the Barons of Frauenberg from Graubünden. From 1314 to 1824 it was owned by the House of Habsburg. During this time, the fortress was besieged several times, e.g. in the Swabian War (1499) or during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), but was always able to hold out. After 1750 the fortress was no longer inhabited, was left to decay and became a ruin. In 1905, the Vaduz architect and sculptor Egon Rheinberger (1870-1936) acquired the badly damaged complex and expanded it by 1910 in the spirit of castle romance to give it its current appearance. Together with his wife Maria he ran an inn on Gutenberg from 1920 until his death in 1936. During this time, numerous concerts and events took place, making the castle a cultural stronghold in the region. After several changes of ownership - engineer Otto Haas with his family and then the filmmaker couple Hermine Kindle de Contreras Torres and Miguel Contreras Torres - the castle complex came into the possession of the state of Liechtenstein through purchase in 1979.
