Although the few remaining ruins of this structure are called a castle, it appears that the site was first used as a Roman temple and then as a Christian church. Nearby are superb rock formations typical of the Northern Vosges Mountains.

Sights: The former abbey church of St. Peter and Paul, founded around 720, belonged to one of the oldest monasteries on the Upper Rhine. In its early years, this was led by Saint Pirminius, among others. The church is one of the most artistically valuable and stylistically diverse in Alsace. It has a Carolingian crypt (8th century), Romanesque chapels (11th century), a choir and a transept in the transitional style to Gothic (late 12th century), a purely Gothic nave (13th century) and a classicist façade with a tower (1768). The remains of the monastery building (chapter house, one wing of the cloister) are of Gothic style (13th century). The furnishings are very rich (medieval gravestones and the Adelphus carpets from around 1470 with depictions of the life and miraculous work of St. Adelphus of Metz in the chapels; baptismal font, pulpit, Adelphus shrine, organ, Holy Sepulchre in the nave). The portals and rose windows are also remarkably designed and decorated. Archaeological remains of other buildings of the monastery complex can be seen to the north of the church. The now Protestant church of St. Adelphus was built between 1200 and 1225 in the transitional style from Romanesque to Gothic. It impresses with its powerful west facade and its simple interior. The choir of the church, which until then contained the reliquary and the Adelphus carpets depicting the life of St. Adelphus of Metz, was demolished in the 19th century and replaced by a flat wall. The Herrenstein Castle (ruin) was built at the beginning of the 13th century by the Counts of Dagsburg. In the 16th century it was converted into a fortress by the Alsatian military architect Daniel Specklin. Former synagogue, built in 1875, and Jewish cemetery, established in 1877

The remains are not the ruins of a small castle, as the popular name might suggest, but rather the remains of a Roman or Gallo-Roman sanctuary from the 2nd century, with a second phase of use in the 4th century. It may have later been used as a Christian church. In Curt Mündel's guide to the Vosges Mountains (1911 edition), the ruins are referred to as "Meisenbacher Schlössel," and the rock below as "Ochsenstall" (Oxen Stable), probably because the rock overhang was formerly used as a shelter for cattle.

Not much left to see but easy to incorporate as a loop from the main path.

In this region (Northern Vosges) there are a number of interesting castle ruins. My personal preference goes to the Château du Falkenstein (described in another walking route). But this Château du Ramstein is also a place that you should not miss. NOTE: there are two ruins with exactly the same name! This is about the castle that is located in Baerenthal. The other Château de Ramstein is located 100 km to the south in Scherwiller. We visited this castle during a beautiful 8 km walk through Baerenthal. The castle was built around 1292 by the lords of Windstein on a high sandstone rock of 292 meters and destroyed in 1335 by Strasbourg troops. Not much remains of the building. Only parts of the mansion, doors, stairs and two cavemen's rooms are still visible. The ruins have only been open to the public for a few years and are very well secured.

This place has a lovely view over the surrounding area, has picknick benches for a proper lunch or bikepackingdinner. We even rolled out our bivi's and spend the night. TIP the cemetery provided water and we found this very convenient on our trip!

From Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Lichtenberg_(Alsace) The castle is surrounded by a wide, deep moat that allows access in only one place. Standing on the moat, the castle shows only high smooth walls without windows. Inside the castle complex there are terraces and meadows next to the buildings. Modern exhibition rooms are integrated in the former "western house" from the 15th and 16th centuries with its round windows, which are unusual for Alsace. The 16th-century 'arsenal of arms' has been converted into a large exhibition space and a cantilevered auditorium has been added which juts out from the old structure of the castle. From the artillery terrace of 1840 there is a wide view all around. Parts of the castle complex and all exhibition rooms are barrier-free accessible. A late Gothic castle chapel is well preserved. It was dedicated to the Trinity. A portrait of Saint Christopher was painted on the side facing the towers.[1] The chapel also served the town of Lichtenberg itself as a church, since it did not have its own.

This is a great rock that is not marked on the map: Rocher Sparsbach

The access staircase has been removed, but someone has installed a ladder on the opposite side. From here it is possible, by climbing a little, to reach the plateau before the ruins, from where there is a beautiful view. At your peril !

My personal highlight on the GR53 so far. An abandoned castle ruin that apparently is no longer being repaired. The access stairs have been removed as there is a risk of collapse. the keep is heavily overgrown, especially with ivy. There is a rock space protected from rain.

Already visible from a distance, the last tower still towers proudly into the sky above the Vosges, a few chambers are still preserved! The view is of course gigantic 💪🕍

What I really like about the castle is that a path leads right through it. It goes through vaults and over faded steps, very interesting and recommendable!

Super nice castle, with small games for children. There is a cafe to relax in, and you can also relax in the sun loungers! Definitely worth a trip!

From the castle you have a sensational view all around. You can still see a lot in the ruin and climb the tower. There are beautiful wooden games for children in different rooms so that there is no boredom. There is also a small café and picnic facilities. Worth seeing all around!

It's been a long time since I was there last. But it was really fun to make a longer stop here as part of a castle tour. In the village below the castle, about 500 meters away, there are parking spaces and rest stops. The castle itself costs admission, but I think it's worth the price because it's a large, clean and partly beautifully restored castle complex with a fantastic view. Only the newfangled museum doesn't really fit in with the old castle complex in my opinion ;-)
