Schirmeck Castle is a medieval building erected during the 13th century. Destroyed during the war, the inhabitants used the ruins to build the bell tower of the village as well as their house.

In 1969, the municipality decided to restore part of it. It is now open to the public. The panorama offered by its tower is majestic.

Beautiful castle with phenomenal view. Although it is a climb, this mini walk will not be a problem for many people. Well worth the effort to go and have a look here.
