From this point you have a beautiful view of Kaysersberg and the wide plane

As a former imperial city, Kaysersberg boasts its imperial castle. Built around 1200 to block the roads leading from Lorraine, it was an important strategic location in the war between the Empire and the Dukes of Lorraine. A huge cylindrical keep, one of the oldest circular keeps in Alsace, with walls over 4 meters thick, is a sight in itself.

Within these walls and under the protection of the keep, you can also admire the stately home with its lancet windows!

But above all, don't miss the magnificent view: Take the 122 steps that lead you to the top of the keep and enjoy a magnificent panorama of Kaysersberg, the valley entrance on the mountain side, the vineyards, and, on a clear day, even the Black Forest in Germany.

From the old town, two staircases and a path through the vineyards lead to the remains.
