Ruins of Bernegg Castle
Hinwil, Switzerland
Ruins of Bernegg Castle are medieval remnants located on a hilltop at 781 meters elevation in Girenbad, part of Hinwil municipality in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland.
First mentioned in the early 13th century and associated with the Lords of Bernegg who had ties to the Lords of Landenberg, the fortress featured natural defenses like a 40-meter steep slope on its north and northwest sides before falling into disuse.
Protected as a cultural property, the site offers visible foundations and earthworks accessible via hiking trails, providing a glimpse into Zürich's feudal hilltop fortifications.
