Le château en bref
Paspels Castle, also known as Schloss Sins, stands in the Domleschg (municipality of Domleschg, Graubünden), near the Church of St Lawrence and the ruin of Alt Sins, with which it forms a group listed in the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National and Regional Significance. Around 1695, Johann Viktor Travers von Ortenstein (1646–1725) had it built, very probably on the site of an earlier building; it was substantially remodelled in 1730, and Lieutenant-General Victor von Travers fitted out a chapel there, consecrated on 25 April 1760. The last major renovation, in 1892–1893, was carried out for Colonel Friedrich von Tscharner by the architect Nicolaus Hartmann senior, of St Moritz: it reshaped the exterior with sgraffiti in the Graubünden Art Nouveau style and a polygonal tower topped with a dome. In 1911 the castle passed to the minister F. von Salis-Soglio; operated as a hotel until 2012, it is now privately owned and not open to the public, but it can be seen from the Domleschg castle trail.
