Charterhouse Church of Christgarten

Highlight • Religious Site

Hochhaus Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The ruin is the remnant of a former high medieval hilltop castle in the Kartäusertal. The system was built around 1200 AD. The castle ruin is very vulnerable to collapse, so you should take special care during the visit.
