Poaching is an Outbound hilltop castle and a free seat on the southeastern foothills of Immenberg above Zezikon the village in the municipality of Affeltrangen in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland .

The castle was the seat of the Lords of Wildenrain, who were in the Toggenburg service, and in 1348 came to the Tobel Johanniter Commandery with goods and rights in Wildern and Zezikon . This is said to have left the castle to decay.

Not far from there, the governor of Tobel , Diethelm Blarer von Wartensee , had the Wildern Castle built in 1571 , which the ruling places confirmed as an open space in 1572. The judiciary came through inheritance and purchase - including in 1651 to Hans Holzhalb - in 1684 to the Fischingen monastery , in whose possession it remained until 1848. Johann Heinrich Im Thurn acquired the agricultural property from the Canton of Thurgau in 1851 and had the dilapidated building renovated.
