Zwingenberg Castle

This castle is located on a forested hill in the west and above Prissiano at Nalles.

Castel Zwingenberg has been constructed before 1222, but only be mentioned in 1237 by their owners, the Counts of Zwingenberg. Zwingenberg Castle is an elongated building with a gate in the west and a grand hall in the north east behind the donjon.

In 1525 the castle complex was destroyed and reconstructed. Around 1900 Castel Zwingenberg was restored and enlarged.

The counts von Stachelburg were the last aristocrats who owned the castle, their descendants still own it today. Today, unfortunately, Castel Zwingenberg is decaying.
