    The Château du Wasenbourg, like most castles in Alsace, has an eventful history. Like most castles, it was raided and conquered several times, sold and pawned. And then quickly visited again by Goethe (Wikipedia). The castle is now just a ruin, with the outer walls still standing. But there is a beautiful view from the top.

      Wasenbourg was once a mighty castle (see link) of which only thick walls remain. The windows on the first floor of the palace are particularly worth seeing.

      Information about the castle:
      burgenwelt.org/frankreich/wasen/object.php


      A tour of the Chateau de Wasenbourg should be combined with a visit to one or more of the following castle ruins:
      Chateau Schoeneck and Wineck
      Chateau Hohenfels (Dambacher Castle)
      Wachtfelsen and Klein-Arnsberg ruins
      Alt-Windstein and Neu-Windstein ruins
      Luetzelhardt ruins
      This way you can easily visit several castle ruins in one day.

        The castle itself is relatively young, but the lookout rock in front of it was already used by the Romans. In front of the castle there is also a small refuge of the Vosges Club with a map of the area.
