[4] The von Juvalt family were vassals of the Bishop of Chur and had estates from Feldis/Veulden to Scharans.

Around 1250 they built Innerjuvalt Castle about 2 km (1.2 mi) south-east of Hochjuvalt to improve their control over the area.

Over the following century, the Bishops used the castle and its estates as collateral for loans from a number of wealthy families.

In 1940 guns were emplaced near the old upper castle and tank barriers were added around the lower.

Most of three sides of the tower have collapsed, leaving an L-shaped five-story wall still standing.

The castle was surrounded by a ring wall that probably enclosed the entire top of the spur.
