En un regard
Le château en bref
Haselstein Castle stands above the village of Zillis-Reischen, in the Schams (canton of Graubünden), on a terrace at an altitude of about 1,167 metres, on the lateral moraine of the former Tasping Glacier. It was built around 1270 (felled timber cut in spring 1273 dates its construction) by the lords of Reischen, ministerials of the Bishop of Chur, who resided there for about a century before abandoning it towards the end of the 14th century, after a landslide had affected the southern palace. Left in ruins, it was excavated from 1968 onwards and then, from the 1970s, consolidated and partly rebuilt using the original walls. Since 1983 it has served as a cultural castle for the Schams region and as a base for the preservation of Graubünden's castles. Owned by the Pro Castellis foundation since 2016, according to the Graubünden tourist office, it is accessible only by appointment.
