investment

The remains of the former Hasensprung Castle are heavily overgrown and covered with rubble; the former structural connections are barely recognizable. Only the northeast corner of the tower has survived. The exact layered masonry and the large corner bosses with chipped edges are striking . The mask sculpture that Clavadetscher recognized in the early 1980s can no longer be seen.

history

There are no written documents about the origins and history of the castle, but the tower was probably built in the 13th century. Hasensprung is mentioned in a land register around 1370: ager dictus air de Plan contingit versus Rautels (= Rodels) colli de Hasensprung.

Conceivable as owners are the barons of Vaz , from whom the castle came to the Werdenbergs and was destroyed in the shame feud in 1451 .
