En un regard
Le château en bref
The Schlösschen Wörth is a small castle built on a rocky islet at the foot of the Rhine Falls, at Neuhausen am Rheinfall, facing Laufen Castle. Erected in 1348 according to the 2004 excavations, it succeeded a fortification dating from the mid-11th century. It collected customs duties and controlled the transhipment of goods around the falls. A bridge led to an enclosed courtyard; to the north, a three-storey building had a half-timbered upper floor, rebuilt in stone in 1621. Converted into an inn in 1836–1837, it today houses a restaurant and a boarding point.
