Blauenstein

Blauenstein is a castle fort on a rocky outcrop north of Kleinlützel, Switzerland. The castle was probably built in the thirteenth century and destroyed in 1411 by the forces of Basel during the Neuenstein War. There are only a few walls remaining today. The castle suffered further damage during the 1356 Basel earthquake. As it was at the junction of important Roman pass on Blauenbergkette, the city of Kleinlützel proposes Roman origins for the castle.
