Schauenburg Castle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schauenburg is a ruined castle near the border of France and Germany. It is in the commune of Liestal, Switzerland.

The castle was built to catch traders who sought to evade the tolls on the Rhine river. Due to repeated geological events, little of the original structure remains.
