Le château en bref
Neu-Altstätten Castle is a castle above Lüchingen (municipality of Altstätten) in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley.
It was built around 1375 (first mentioned in that year) and is a cultural property of regional significance. Neu-Altstätten is the only one of the originally four Altstätten castles that still survives. It was one of the residences of the lords of Altstätten, who are mentioned from 1155 onwards.
The hillside castle, to be classified as a fortified house or tower castle, has four storeys and an interesting saddle roof that overhangs far on two sides and has half-timbering on the gable ends. It stands on a hillside laid out in terraces, and buildings are attached to the residential tower on two sides.
