Kasteln Castle
Switzerland, Switzerland
Kasteln Castle is a well-preserved medieval fortress transformed into a Baroque palace, located on a rocky outcrop west of Oberflachs in the canton of Aargau, Switzerland.
Built around 1200 by Kyburg vassals in the Schenkenberg Valley and first documented in 1238, it was expanded with two-story wings between 1642-1650 using materials from the nearby demolished Ruchenstein Castle, making it Aargau's only uniform Baroque palace.
Today, the four-story structure serves as a boarding school for students with behavioral needs, featuring modern facilities like a swimming pool amid vineyards and woods, and holds national cultural heritage status.
