The castle of Castels or Putzerburg is the ruins of a hilltop castle near the village of Putz in Prättigau in the canton of Graubünden.

A truly epic, large ruin with a heavy gate, which is open, however! Only the tower is inaccessible!

From the inside of the castle you have a beautiful view in every direction of the valley. Ideal for taking a break and enjoying the view.

Don't expect too much from the ruins. It is more of a remaining tower or today a small viewing platform.

The castle ruin Valcastiel (also called Valkastiel) is the ruin of a medieval castle on a hilltop near Vandans in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg. Not much is known about the history of this extremely exposed ruin. For a long time it was assumed that the Montafon castle, mentioned in 1391 and documented in the archives, was probably destroyed in 1405 in the Appenzeller War. According to other findings, the Montafon castle does not refer to a building, but should be considered a medieval rulership designation. Above the village of Vandans is the Valcastieltobel with the Mustergielbach between the Geißberg and the Fahrengrat. The ruin stands near the western end of a sharp rock ridge that rises very ruggedly between the Mustergielbach in the south and a tributary of the Valkastieltobel in the north that rises to the Vandanser Steinwand. It can be reached from Vandans via a marked hiking trail, mostly along a forest road, which leads to the base of the ridge. The last part goes over steep wooden steps and a path secured with steel cables. Shortly before reaching the rock outcrop, as the bridge has broken down, the Mustergielbach must be crossed, which can be difficult if the water is strong.

The potentially fatal dangers are pointed out at the gate: falling rocks and danger of falling. Unimpressed by this, a robot lawn mower is meticulously doing its job in the courtyard. And as it works, the restorers have done their job: stone chips and the risk of falling are eliminated. Only my search for the "Lustgarten" was strangely unsuccessful.

Beautiful castle with garden in private ownership.
