Stetteneck Castle ruins
Vanished castle on Col Pican
There is hardly anything left of Burg Stetteneck, and its position near St. Jakob's church near Pincan could only be confirmed in 2000 thanks to archaeological excavations. Yet the castle played an important role in the development of the village and new supplies were brought mainly to St. Jakob's to provide for its inhabitants. The Stetteneck family was wiped out at the start of the 14th century for political reasons.
