Alt‑Wartburg Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The Wartberg has two castle complexes. The Neu Wartburg, today called Sälischlössli, is located on the northern peak, and the Alt Wartburg on the southern peak. The Alt Wartburg may have had a previous building from the 11th century. In the first half of the 13th century, the lords of Ifenthal built the castle, which is still in ruins today. The multi-storey residential tower of the lord of the castle and his family rose to the north. To the south was a walled courtyard with outbuildings. Access to the castle was via a rock path around the south side of the castle rock. The castle was later rebuilt. A transverse wall was built inside the residential tower and a mezzanine floor was built in the basement. A new filter cistern was built in the yard.
