Bischofstein Castle
Sissach, Switzerland, Switzerland
Bischofstein Castle is a ruined medieval fortress above Sissach in the canton of Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, constructed around 1250 by the Lords of Eptingen to protect strategic routes through the region.
Severely damaged by the devastating 1356 Basel earthquake, the site was never rebuilt or inhabited afterward, leaving only scattered wall remnants classified as a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
Part of Sissach's vanished cluster of noble fortifications alongside Sissacherfluh and Burgenrain, it reflects the area's turbulent feudal history under families like the Eptingers and Habsburgs before Basel's acquisition in 1456.
