    Tips

    March 1, 2017

    Of the three ruins that rise above Ribeauvillé, St. Ulrich undeniably proves to be one of the most fascinating castles in Upper Alsace.
    It once oversaw the strategic link between the Alsatian plain
    and the high valley of Lièpvre. The castle bears witness to the power of the lords of
    Rappoltstein, whose main residence she was until her final task in the 16th century.
    Different architectural styles exist side by side:
    In some parts Gothic and even Renaissance elements were added.
    In the immediate vicinity was built in the 13th century, the castle Girsberg, as a home for
    to serve a new branch of the family of Rappoltstein - the residential building is still
    good to see.
