Set: Castle of Sargans




The Castle of Sargans, rather small in comparison to the collection of the castles of Switzerland, was built by Hugo of Türbingen, heir of the territories of the Counts of Bregenz, at the end of the 13th century. This small dynasty was later dissolved with the sale of the castle and lands to the House of the Habsburgs. Currently, it is main museum and cultural center of the city of Sargans.
