Liebegg Castle between Gränichen and Teufenthal is currently in something akin to hibernation: there is still a civil wedding (in a small circle) on Friday and an event at the witch museum on Monday, but otherwise, the director of the castle, Samuel Widmer (60), is alone. Unless there are workers.
The monolith stayed there in the morning
But then this happened on Wednesday morning: On his tour, Widmer surprisingly discovered a monolith, a reflective metal sculpture, a hollow body. How did the piece get there? No traces were found in the freshly fallen snow. One thing is certain: the monolith is almost three meters high. And one thing is clear: he wasn’t there Tuesday night.

Just a scoundrel joke, as Mayor Peter Stirnemann explained to “Blick.” He said the monolith reminded him of crop circles, a recurring phenomenon in summer. But Stirnemann took the castle keeper’s report so seriously that he went directly to the scene yesterday morning. Then he got excited about “Blick”: “For us, of course, that’s good for advertising. It’s good he’s with us. “A castle or community PR gag? Both Castle Warden Widmer and Mayor Stirnemann stressed yesterday that they had nothing to do with the matter.
About 50 people were there on Thursday, to no avail
As soon as the first reports about the Liebegger monolith appeared on the Internet, the first pilgrims made a pilgrimage to the castle hill. Several dozen people were spoken to. But anyone driving to Gränichen on Thursday morning could no longer assess the phenomenon. The monolith is gone. The castle warden, Samuel Widmer, confirms this to AZ. He goes on to say that many people came to see the monolith. “There were about 50 people.”
Even the castle keeper does not know who brought the monolith and has now transported it again. He says, “We have no idea who it was. Because of all the people here there are many footprints. “
Where it all started
How it all began The Utah Monolith was officially discovered in the desert on November 18, 2020. It was found by chance while flying over a particularly remote and impassable mountain range. Things got even more puzzling when the stele disappeared a few days later. Land Art? Or is it an intergalactic greeting? “Speculated the” Süddeutsche Zeitung “.
It is clear that monoliths have appeared in various countries since then. Also Wednesday at Liebegg Castle. The secret of who brought the monolith remains unsolved. Advertising is safe for the castle.
