"The Engadin is also where the multidisciplinary artist Not Vital has his foundation, including the 17th-century Planta house in Ardez, with its library of historic Rumantsch writings, as well as a painting studio and sculpture park in the mountain village of Sent, his birthplace. Meanwhile, he calls a ca.-1040 castle in Tarasp home (when he’s not in Beijing or Rio de Janeiro, that is); it also houses and sometimes exhibits his collection of antique, Modern, and contemporary art, along with works from artists near and far. They are all worth visiting (note: you’ll need to book tours of the castle and the Planta house)."

Tarasp Castle stands out in this majestic landscape of the Swiss Alps. Originally built in the 10th century, the high-altitude castle has been expanded over the years. Tarasp was abandoned in 1815, and like many other castles, it began to fall into disrepair. But it was saved by skilled restorers, and after more than a century of renovation, Tarasp Castle is now a cultural heritage site of national importance.

It is a very nice castle where medieval and modern art coexist in a very harmonic way. It offers an awesome view on the valley too. I recommend to book the guided tour as this is the only way to visit it. Inside the castle is not allowed to take pictures.

Such a nice place, it kind of looks unreal. The beauty of the mountains combined with the flurry skies will make you never forget this place. Take your time and enjoy the drive through, no rush and no other thoughts.

Imposing, very well preserved and maintained castle, private property now. Visits only twice per day, with a group; entrance fee.

We expected something old with lots of antique objects. But in 2016 the castle was bought by a Swiss artist so you can also see modern art in there. It’s not just an old castle
