Schnabelburg Castle
Castle ruin on the Albis, Switzerland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schnabelburg Castle (German: Schnabelburg) was a small castle erected in 1150 by the lords of Eschenbach (Switzerland, near Lucerne) on the Albis chain southwest of Zürich, Switzerland, overlooking the nearby Schnabellücken pass.[1]

In 1309 the Schnabelburg was attacked by the Habsburgs,[2] in revenge for the participation of Walter von Eschenbach in the murder of Albert I of Germany. All that is left today is low ruins, reachable in about 30 minutes on foot from the Albis Pass.
