If you around Steckborn go and see this nice ruin.. The Neuburg above Mammern in the Swiss canton of Thurgau was built in the middle of the 13th century by Baron Ulrich III. built by Altenklingen. Since 1319 she was as a fief of the monastery of St. Gallen in changing ownership. In 1690 she acquired the monastery Rheinau. The hill castle was however canceled 1745. Today, however, are still extensive ruins with remains of the great curtain wall to see. From the main castle the remains of the foundations of the keep are preserved.

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
