Château de La Petite-Pierre

Built in the thirteenth century, the castle of La Petite Pierre and its fortifications were extensively modernized by Vauban in 1684. The castle was a strategic location that allowed control of a passage between Alsace and Lorraine. Found at: tourisme-alsace.com/de/217003784-Burg-von-La-Petite-Pierre.html. The Château de La Petite-Pierre is beautifully situated at the end of the road with a view of the valley. It lies extremely prominently at the end of a mountain spur that protrudes far into the valley. The castle, which did not suffer an artillery siege, is now the administrative headquarters of the Northern Vosges Regional Natural Park, declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

Burg Lützelstein was built at the end of the 12th century by Count Hugo von Blieskastel.
Currently (07/2018) extensive renovations are taking place.

The castle is currently being renovated and is not accessible. A hike around it and a visit to the cisterns are worthwhile
