A magnificent castle which offers a splendid view, an association of volunteers takes care of the restoration of this place rich in history. Also, it has a large park surrounded by walls where there is a beautiful chapel. There are picnic benches, trees, ... in short, a very soothing and pleasant place to visit, both the first and the hundredth time.

The winding ruin is very easy to explore. In addition to the main complex, there is also the Chapelle St-Valentin and the Hunger Tower. There are several options for a picnic on the entire area.

Guirbaden Castle is the largest medieval fortification in Alsace. From 1219 onwards, Friedrich II von Staufen built a palatial-like palace at Guirbaden Castle with great effort, the largest in Alsace.
Guirbaden Castle can be reached via hiking trails from Mollkirch in the east, Grendelbruch in the west, the Fischhütte in the south and the Floessplatz in the Breuschtal in the north.
