Lower Castle Zizers

Lower Castle Zizers (Unteres Schloss Zizers) is a well-preserved medieval castle located in the heart of the village of Zizers, just a few kilometers north of Chur. The castle's most distinctive feature is its tall, square tower, which rises above the surrounding houses and gives the village a fairy-tale silhouette. The main building is a sturdy stone structure with a steep roof and small windows, typical of the region's medieval fortifications. Today, the castle is privately owned and not open to the public, but its exterior can be admired from the street. The village of Zizers itself is charming, with narrow lanes, historic houses, and a lovely church. Visitors can walk around the castle grounds and take photos of the tower. The castle is part of a group of three medieval fortifications in Zizers (Upper, Middle, and Lower), making it a great stop for castle enthusiasts exploring the area. The setting is quiet and rural, with views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains.
