Downfall of The Castle
Several theories exist about how the castle may have come to an end, and historians are in debate. Some theories include:
- The Barons von Regensberg destroyed the castle for an unspecified or unknown reason, or they demolished it with the intent of building a new castle that was never finished.
- The castle was destroyed in 1267 by the inhabitants of Zurich. This theory is confirmed by several old documents, but by no other found evidence.
- The castle was abandoned sometime in the late 13th century, and deteriorated over time.
