Schloss Schauenstein

Schloss Schauenstein
The Upper or Schauenstein Castle, like the Lower One, developed from an original defensive tower, the eastern end of the old fortresses.

Description

Around 1667, the cousins Rudolf and Johann Rudolf von Schauenstein acquired the dilapidated building from the property of the Bishop of Chur and completely renovated it. The current appearance goes back to this extension and to the renovations by the von Planta family with garden facilities shortly after 1900. The house once housed the Fürstenau educational institution. After several changes of ownership, it came to the Heinrich Schwendener Foundation. In 2003, the castle was converted into a restaurant and hotel under the aegis of top chef Andreas Caminada and is regularly awarded by the relevant juries. In 2011, Caminada opened "La Tavlada" in the Remisa opposite, and in 2018 the "Casa Caminada" with shop, bakery and restaurant in two converted stables.

Access
Schloss Schauenstein is used as a restaurant and hotel. The complex is located directly on the Domleschg Castle Trail.
