Hohenklingen Castle
Stein am Rhein, Switzerland
Hohenklingen Castle is a well-preserved medieval fortress towering over the historic town of Stein am Rhein in Switzerland's canton of Schaffhausen, with origins dating back to around 1200 as the first toll castle on the Rhine River.
Built initially as a residential tower by the Klingen family and expanded into a strategic stronghold, it escaped destruction during wars like the Swabian War of 1499 and the Thirty Years' War, maintaining its medieval silhouette with robust walls, a knight's hall, and panoramic views of the Rhine Valley, Lake Constance, and surrounding hills.
Today, the castle serves as a restaurant, guesthouse with six rooms, and visitor site, offering a glimpse into knightly life amid its UNESCO-nominated old town setting.
