Rotberg Castle is located on the recently signposted Castle Magic Route 114 and is worth every visit, especially for an overnight stay. Although the castle is a Swiss youth hostel, it can also be rented privately: for weddings, anniversaries, etc. The entire castle is also available with or without catering.
It is closed during the winter months. The shared rooms have been recently renovated. For only two or a few people, it is best to contact the castle directly; the tower room for two, for example, is not listed online.
The castle dates back to the 13th century, has changed hands several times and has been abandoned and uninhabitable since 1645. It fell into disrepair and was often used as a quarry.
When work began to rebuild the castle in the autumn of 1933, it was nothing more than a meager and dilapidated ruin. Generous donations provided the financial means to rebuild it in 1934 and 1935 using plans by the castle builder Eugen Probst through a voluntary work service of unemployed young people.
