Castell Castle, also known as Upper Castell (Ober-Castell), overlooks the village of Tägerwilen from a vantage point on the Thurgau Seerücken ridge.It dates back to the time of the Junker Konrad, Vogt of Wartenfels, an inhabitant of Konstanz, who in 1585 replaced an existing farmhouse with a manor house in late Renaissance style; this still forms the heart of the castle complex today.
The Castle has been spared from war damage in the course of its history. Its silhouette with walls and roofs still corresponds to the medieval appearance from 1200 to 1422. Hohenklingen was the first toll castle at the river Rhine and is about 5 miles away from the Rhine Falls. Stein am Rhein is also the last town before the German Border.
