    The ruins of the fortified castle of Freundstein, above Goldbach-Altenbach, dominate the plain of Alsace at an altitude of 948 metres.
    The Freundstein appeared in the texts in 1297 as the property of ministerials.

      The 13th-century castle is said to have been the seat of the Jungholz and abbots of Murbach.
