Ortenstein
Ortenstein
Ortenstein is a castle located in Switzerland, near Tomils, in Graubünden. The initial castle at the location was destroyed in a conflict called "Schamserfehde" in 1451 but obtained the privilege to be rebuilt unlike other castles then.
Today it is privately owned although it was with the municipality of Tomils for the first time in 1527 already.
