The Wasenburg was built in 1280 by Konrad von Lichtenberg on a castle site dating back to the 8th century. The castle was damaged in the Peasants' War and was almost destroyed by French troops in 1677. The huge nine-part magnificent window with seven rosettes is remarkable - a work of art that the stonemasons carved out of a single piece of sandstone. It is probably the most beautiful castle window of all Alsatian castles. The mighty shield wall, a bay window and the fireplace in the palace are also well preserved. A memorial plaque commemorates Goethe's visit in 1770, who came up here because of the magnificent window and the excellent view from the spa town of Niederbronn-les-Bains.

The upper hiking trail goes directly to the ruins. The lower path, as the name suggests, goes past the foot of the rock.

The Wasenburg (French Château du Wasenbourg) is the ruin of a medieval rock castle in Alsace. The castle stands on a 432 meter high northern foothills of the Reisberg above Niederbronn-les-Bains and the Falkensteinerbachtal, an important connection between Bitche and the Upper Rhine Plain. Nothing is known about the founding of the castle. The castle of Duke Luitfried may have stood here as early as 730. The first reports are from 1280, when Konrad von Lichtenberg expanded the (probably already existing) castle. Source: Wikipedia.

Foensburg Castle dates from the 13th century. After being demolished, the lords of Fleckenstein rebuilt it in the 15th century. This fortified castle is a so-called semi-troglodyte construction, and rests on two independent rocks, connected by a footbridge.

The rock castle ruins, enthroned on a sandstone cliff at a height of more than 300 meters, are reminiscent of a stone monster that watches over the wide forest above Lembach. In addition to secret rooms and steps carved into the rock, there are also stairs and passages that lead to the different floors of the ruin. Unfortunately, the ruin is currently closed.

The Petit Arnsbourg castle ruins are located above Obersteinbach and are one of the smaller rock castles. It is a 14th century castle built into steep rocks. It is typical of the smallest feudal estates in Alsace. Stairs and corridors, remains of a small residential building and a high tower on the mountain side have been preserved. A special rock staircase that meanders along the rock leads up to the upper castle. The ruin lies romantically in the forest and invites you to linger. From there you have a beautiful view of Obersteinbach.
