The Tarasp Castle is a landmark of the Lower Engadin, standing majestically on a 100-meter-high rocky cliff approximately 1400 meters above sea level above the village of Tarasp. The castle is a Swiss cultural heritage site of national significance and was built around 1040 by the Lords of Tarasp. Over the centuries, the castle was repeatedly renovated and rebuilt, with its characteristic pointed roof and red tiles from the 19th century added, giving the castle its iconic appearance today.

Visiting the castle offers not only a fascinating window into the medieval history of the region, but also breathtaking panoramic views of the Lower Engadin, the Inn River, and the surrounding mountain peaks. The castle houses collections of historical artworks and furniture that underscore its importance as a cultural monument. The castle complex has been restored and welcomes visitors who wish to delve deeper into the history of the Alpine region. Guided tours provide deeper insights into the fascinating architecture and history of the site.

Tarasp Castle is easily accessible by car or train and is located about 10 kilometers south of Scuol. Parking is available nearby and the castle is regularly open for guided tours and visits from spring to autumn. The best time to visit is from June to September with stable weather conditions.
