The mysterious ruins of Helfenberg Castle raise many questions. When and why was the castle built in this place, somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Who were the inhabitants? Why and when was Helfenberg destroyed? We explore all these questions in this documentary.

For the documentary we had archaeologists and historians in front of the camera. 

We hope you enjoy watching it.
