    "The three tombs that stand out on the hill Schlossberg dominate the Alsatian plain from an altitude of 591m, they were built in the XIth and XIIth centuries, in the middle, the Wahlenbourg, the oldest, in the north, the Dagsbourg, in the south , the Weckmund, built in the 12th century.

    The Wahlburg: the oldest of the three castles built on a Romanesque lookout in the year 1006 by the Count, Hugh IV, Eguisheim and his wife, Heilwige, Countess of Dabo.
    In 1026 the castle was destroyed by Duke Ernest of Swabia. This building had three different parts. On the upper part, the count's quarters, in the middle, the service personnel and the officers and at the very bottom, the soldiers were accommodated. There were also the horse stables.

    The Dagsbourg: they were built in 1144 by the Count of Ferrette and destroyed in 1197, after the uprising of Philip of Swabia, brother of the Emperor, against Emperor Henry VI.

    The alarm clock: In 1225, after the death of the last direct descendant of the Earl of Dabo-Eguisheim, the Ferrette became the next heirs. But the Bishop of Strasbourg claimed this legacy, went to war and raided the castles of High Eguisheim. the then ruler, Henry, King of Germany, united with the Earl of Ferrette and from 1226 to 1227 a tower was built in place of the lower court to prevent entry to the castle. It was Friden again. The bishop kept the castle Dagsburg and the alarm clock went back to the Count of Ferrette.

    The castles were destroyed in 1466 during the 6 Denar Kriges. "
