The ruins of Alt-Thierstein Castle are situated on a wooded ridge in the Laufental valley, near the border with the canton of Basel-Landschaft. This medieval castle was likely built in the 12th century by the Counts of Thierstein and served to control important trade routes. Today, remnants of the walls, the keep, and sections of the curtain wall are still visible. The site offers a beautiful view over the Laufental valley. The ruins are freely accessible and a popular destination for hikers and history enthusiasts.

very pretty here, very pretty

View of Gipf-Oberfrick

The historical castle in ruins and a modern swiss village in the valley. A perfect mixture of old and new. Those who built the castle are long but what remains are their traces. A reminder to us : Nothing lasts forever.

The Schenkenberg ruins are the best proof that history never ends. The castle complex is impressive and well-preserved. There are several barbecue areas within the castle walls. You must bring your own wood, etc. The view over the Schenkenberg Valley is impressive.

Wonderful view in a very beautiful location. There are tables and buckets for a picnic. It has a special atmosphere if you go along with it. The board with explanations of the history is very clearly written.

Interesting ruin - if you are in the area, it is worth a visit.

I keep coming back here, simple castle but always worth a picture
