Burgruine Klingenhorn Wynegg, Malans
The Klingenhorn Wynegg castle ruins in Malans is a historical site, separated from the hillside by a neck ditch. The tower is preserved up to three stories, but is in poor condition and overgrown with shrubs.

Description

The castle hill is separated from the mountainside by a neck ditch, possibly artificially widened. The tower is preserved up to a height of three stories; the upper part is in poor structural condition and overgrown with brush. Traces of rasa pietra plaster with joint lines are still visible. Inside the tower, remains of plaster and beam holes have been preserved, allowing the height of the floors to be determined. The interior of the tower is covered with rubble and undergrowth. A narrow entrance into the tower has been broken into a loophole window on the first floor. On the second floor, the original elevated entrance has been bricked up; nearby are two smoke vents and a narrow slit window. The purpose of the wall opening on the third floor can no longer be determined. To the west, remains of a secondary building are still visible. The outer wall remnants mentioned by Clavadetscher/Meyer are barely recognizable. On the north side, beam holes indicate additional buildings. To the west, on a lower terrace, there was once an extensive outer bailey.
