Wynegg Castle

At first Johann von Vaz appeared to accept the bishop's claim, but in 1299 he went to court to prove that it was legally his fief.

Over the following decades the Toggenburg counts held the castle, along with Schanfigg and Davos, for the bishops.

[2] The ruins of Wynegg castle stand on a rocky outcropping north of Malans.

Part of the old ring wall, which was up to 2.5 meters (8.2 ft), and traces of the three-story palas can still be seen.

On the east side, toward the mountain, a natural depression was deepened into a defensive ditch.
