context_page_description: Hohenrätien Castle is a castle in the municipality of Sils im Domleschg of the Canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
context_section_description: The Inner Castle is on the south western side of the ridge.  In the center of the castle is the main tower, which has a cistern on the ground floor that could hold about 30,000 l (7,900 US gal).  The second story was used for storing supplies.  The main entrance and reception hall was on the third story, along with a large fireplace and a latrine.  The fourth story was a single, large bedroom.  The modern renovations of the tower changed the interior, while leaving the exterior unchanged.  The tower was roofed over with a glass roof.  Wooden platforms were built around the walls at the same height as the original floor, though the center was left open to allow light into the entire tower.
