Château de Ramstein Ruins

The Ramstein Castle is a medieval castle ruin northwest of the Alsatian village of Scherwiller in the Bas-Rhin. It stands at 384 meters altitude about 300 meters southwest of the neighboring castle Ortenberg on a rocky rise of the Vosges Mountains and thus belongs to the type of mountain castle. The ruin was placed on July 1, 1924 as a monument historique under monument protection. Since it is however acutely collapse-endangered, the entrance is forbidden because of collapse danger since 1983.

The ruin is currently being renovated !!!!
