The 12th century Pietersheim moated castle is a silent witness to the glorious and turbulent battles of the Lords of Pietersheim. The ring-shaped ramparts and the gate tower of the medieval castle can still be seen. The 16th century chapel hall has also been preserved and completely renovated. A floating walkway allows you to reach all the hidden corners of the castle.

Be sure to climb up to the viewing platform in the gatehouse and enjoy the magnificent view of the castle square and the surrounding park.
