Ruined Radegg

On the southern slope of the Rossberg in Osterfingen, on a rugged mountain spur, lies the ruined castle of Radegg.

A drawbridge and a castle gate very probably led through the west wall, where a wooden footbridge is now attached, into the residential building. The castle was first mentioned around 1200. The Lords of Rossberg owned estates in Osterfingen, Löhningen, Beringen, Guntmadingen and Trasadingen. The castle was possibly destroyed in battles with the surrounding nobility. The bow and crossbow arrows found on the site of the outer castle as well as the traces of fire point to this demise.
