Τα 9 καλύτερα κάστρα Offweiler

Κοντά σε μια μικρή λεκάνη μπροστά από το κάστρο, μπορείτε να βρείτε μια γκριμάτσα σκαλισμένη στην πέτρα. Πιθανότατα χρονολογείται από τον 13ο αιώνα. Υποτίθεται ότι αυτή η γκριμάτσα είχε τοποθετηθεί εκεί ως φύλακας του κάστρου.

Υπέροχα ερείπια κάστρου, ακόμη και ο Γκαίτε διέμενε εδώ κατά τη διάρκεια της ζωής του. Μπορεί κανείς εύκολα να φανταστεί πώς ζούσαν οι άνθρωποι εδώ κάποτε.

nice

Very worth seeing restored castle with fantastic panoramic views.

Lichtenberg Castle is 800 years of history and superb panoramas of the Northern Vosges regional natural park brought together in an exceptional setting. As you walk around, you can read through the architecture the Gothic and Renaissance imprint of the building.

The Wasenburg was built in 1280 by Konrad von Lichtenberg on a castle site dating back to the 8th century. The castle was damaged in the Peasants' War and was almost destroyed by French troops in 1677. The huge nine-part magnificent window with seven rosettes is remarkable - a work of art that the stonemasons carved out of a single piece of sandstone. It is probably the most beautiful castle window of all Alsatian castles. The mighty shield wall, a bay window and the fireplace in the palace are also well preserved. A memorial plaque commemorates Goethe's visit in 1770, who came up here because of the magnificent window and the excellent view from the spa town of Niederbronn-les-Bains.

In this region (Northern Vosges) there are a number of interesting castle ruins. My personal preference goes to the Château du Falkenstein (described in another walking route). But this Château du Ramstein is also a place that you should not miss. NOTE: there are two ruins with exactly the same name! This is about the castle that is located in Baerenthal. The other Château de Ramstein is located 100 km to the south in Scherwiller. We visited this castle during a beautiful 8 km walk through Baerenthal. The castle was built around 1292 by the lords of Windstein on a high sandstone rock of 292 meters and destroyed in 1335 by Strasbourg troops. Not much remains of the building. Only parts of the mansion, doors, stairs and two cavemen's rooms are still visible. The ruins have only been open to the public for a few years and are very well secured.

Falkenstein Castle has been very well restored. The many information boards are also very helpful. In the castle at the level of the horse stables there are table sets for a picnic
