Intro

A little over 300 years old, Sins Castle in Paspels is located in the middle of orchards just below Altsins Castle and has its own baroque gardens.

Built in 1695, the stately mansion in Domleschg has belonged to various important Graubünden families over the years. In 1892, it was decorated by the architect Niklaus Hartmann with rich sgraffito paintings, carved roof beams and a turret, thus converting it into a real castle with an enchanting garden.

Sins Castle was run as a hotel until 2012. It is now privately owned and no longer open to the public. The complex is situated right on the Domleschg Castle Trail.

In addition to the castles and palaces, Domleschg has another precious treasure that needs to be protected: the numerous dry stone walls that stud the landscape and offer a habitat for small animals and plants.
