Ruins at Schadenburg

Ruins at Schadenburg – impressive castle ruins

  • Ringgenberg

Explore the medieval building and enter a world of myth and legend

The ruins at Schadenburg are a rectangular stone structure, located above the village of Ringgenberg on the stretch of road connecting Ringgenberg and Niederried. Take a short stroll through the woods and explore the castle ruins.

From the road, the woodland ruins are a ten-minute walk. Here you enter a medieval world of myth and legend. The story goes something like this: Back in the 13th century, the baron Kuno von Brienz wanted to build a dungeon. But the baron fell victim to a revenge attack and so the project was never completed. Others suspect that the castle was to be used for watching the trade route between Interlaken and Brienz.
