Roetteln Castle is one of the beautiful castle in Loerrach which is around 10 kms from the city of Basel. Recently we had a chance to celebrate our good friend Iva's birthday in this castle. The ruins of the castle are situated in a forested hill 422 m above the sea level and its third largest castle ruin in Baden. One gets a panoramic view of the city of Loerrach from the top of the castle. The castle has probably existed since the beginning of 11th century. The Basel earthquake of 1356 destroyed large portions of the city and the castle suffered severe damage. It has lush green fields nearby and a perfect place to be when the sun shines.
