Ruins of the Fröhlichsburg Castle, originally built in the 12th/13th century, with the remains of the walls and the large Fröhlichsturm tower. The Fröhlichsturm once belonged to a 12th-century castle in Mals, built by the Lords of Mals – hence its original name: Malsburg. The former residential building now only remains as a ruin. The tower is 33.5 meters high and also has a circumference of 33 meters. From the 14th century onwards, the castle served as the seat of justice for the Bishop of Chur. The name of the castle (and thus of the preserved tower) comes from the Lords of Fröhlich, into whose ownership it subsequently passed. According to legend, the stones of the castle were removed to expand the parish church in the 19th century. A series of small wall openings halfway up the tower still give an idea of the fact that a battlement once led around the keep.

The old town of Mals has a lot to offer

Nice little town with shopping facilities, start and end point of the Vinschgau Railway

For us it was a strenuous climb, but manageable.

Nice village with a castle.

The keep of the Fröhlichsburg is 33 m high and has a circumference of 33.5 m. The Fröhlichsburg was often portrayed as a Roman building because of the keep (also called "Bergfrit") and the Roman inscriptions that were found near the tower. The keep was also a court seat. The castle complex was built in the 12th and 13th centuries by the Lords of Mals (Matsch), who were first mentioned in 1149. From the end of the 16th century, the Lords of Fröhlich owned the castle, which has borne their name ever since.

After all the effort you can enjoy the beautiful descent.

The tower of the castle, which was built in the 12th or 13th century, rises 33.5 metres into the air. https://www.gemeinde.mals.bz.it/de/Froehlichsturm_in_Mals_3
