Castles and Ruins

Explore the medieval fortifications and defensive architecture of the St. Gallen region. This collection includes Schlössli Haggen, a preserved late medieval manor, and several 'Burgstellen' or archaeological sites of former strongholds such as Rappenstein and Falkenstein. These sites, ranging from private estates like Burg Waldegg to accessible ruins overlooking the Sitter and Goldach rivers, illustrate the historical distribution of power and the strategic landscape of eastern Switzerland during the Middle Ages.
