Hasensprung ruin

The overgrown Hasensprung ruin in Rodels
Built in the 13th century - destroyed during the Schams feud in 1415: an inconspicuous ruin on the edge of Pratval.

It can be assumed that the castle originally belonged to the Vaz family. That it was then broken in the Schamserfehde is also only conjecture. There is no documentary evidence of the castle.

However, the Hasensprung hill is mentioned in the cathedral chapter's land register from around 1370.

Today, there is a considerable amount of rubble on the castle site. As a result, the ground plan is no longer recognizable. It was probably a tower with an adjoining ring to the west. A wall angle still remains from the tower, which consists of an excellent formation of layered blocks.

Three embrasures are completely preserved, of which the upper ones have a straight bench and the lowest ones a sloping bench. Traces of further embrasures and parts of a chimney with a sloping flue can be seen in the demolition areas.

At the southern edge of the plateau there are artificially sealed rock sections. Access was possibly from the south (uncertain traces of a ramp).

 

Access

Hasensprung is only accessible via private land. The facility is visible from the Domleschg castle trail.
