    The chateau is a little higher up, so you have a really nice view of the village. There is also great seating under a tree. The place is extremely tranquil. There is much to see.

          Very nice, small castle ruins with a great view of Walschbronn. The castle grounds are very well maintained. The benches with a table under a tree are perfect for a break!

            Château du Weckersburg à Walschbronn – that is the exact name of this former hunting lodge with the remains of two round defensive towers and the remains of walls with loopholes.

            In 1909, a 4 m high statue of the Sacred Heart was placed on a 10 m high pedestal on the site, which is somewhat reminiscent of Río. Below the remains of the walls and the statue, you pass a grotto dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

              Small quiet castle ruin right on the edge of the village.

                Castle ruins in Walschbronn. There is no parking space here. However, you can park easily in the village near the church.

                  Be sure to go all the way to the top. A great spot in the shade under the linden tree.
