Château de Saint-Ulrich

The castle of Saint-Ulrich (530 meters) is the largest and best preserved of the three castles of Ribeauvillé. Built around the middle of the 13th century on a rocky outcrop, the castle underwent successive enlargements. The most remarkable is the addition of a wing composed of two large rooms superimposed and lit on the side by a double row of seven semi-circular windows.

Ortisei is the best preserved and the most impressive of the three castle ruins. From here and also from the slightly lower castle Girsberg you have a fantastic view. The castle Hohrappoltstein is another 100 meters higher. Lt. a sign is forbidden to enter the ruin, however, on 01.10.2017 the gate was open and some visitors have ventured despite the warning on the tower.
The castle ruins are a popular destination. Even during the week there was a lot going on here in moderate weather. Therefore, if possible do not visit on weekends and "The early bird catches the worm." :)

Very well preserved ruin that can be visited extensively. Even the keep is accessible. Beautiful view on the plain and the town of Ribeauvillé, as well as on the opposite castle Guirsberg.
