Unfortunately, the iron ladder at the Petit Ochsenstein was dismantled 😢

The Château des Rohan, formerly called "The Little Alsatian Versailles," is located in the city center of Saverne on the Rhine-Marne Canal. This former bishop's castle, built in the 13th century and restored in the 19th century on the initiative of Napoleon III, now houses a museum, a cultural center, a youth hostel, and a school. The neoclassical façade (park side), made of pink sandstone, is 140 meters long, which is the same horizontal height as Strasbourg Cathedral. The Château des Rohan Museum presents extensive Gallo-Roman and medieval archaeological collections. It consists of three departments: Art and History, Louise Weiss, and Archaeology. The Art and History department encompasses many areas: paintings, prints, and 15th- and 16th-century polychrome wood carvings from the churches of Saverne and the region, as well as a room dedicated to the history of the castle. Louise Weiss Department To honor her Alsatian ties (her family originally came from Petite-Pierre near Saverne), journalist Louise Weiss (1893-1983) donated her collections (ethnographic objects, paintings, drawings, 19th- and 20th-century decorative arts, and personal archives) to the Saverne Museum in 1981 and 1983. Archaeological Department In the vaulted cellars of the castle, the museum houses a rich archaeological collection, including numerous Gallo-Roman funerary and votive steles. Tours of the museum and access to the castle roof are available (upon request). Admission (museum + roof access): €5 (adults) and €4 (students)

Unfortunately, the stairs up to the observation tower are closed. At least, that was the case today, September 17, 2025. However, I expect this closure to last longer. Nevertheless, the structure is worth seeing.

사베른 남서쪽 죌른 계곡 위에 있는 길쭉한 바위 성. 우여곡절 끝에 약 150년 동안 국유 재산이 되었습니다. 안뜰에는 여러 시대의 다양한 건축물이 있습니다. 라인 계곡과 북부 보주 산맥의 멋진 전망.

A large neoclassical palace from the late 18th century, especially in relation to the relatively small town. Located at the lower end of the old town, it has a large park at the rear, facing the Rhine-Marne Canal. The palace now belongs to the city and houses two museums, a primary school, a youth hostel, and several theaters and event venues. The varied history of its use is interesting; details can be found online: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohan-Schloss

Impressive building in Saverne - not far from the cycle path.

The Gross-Geroldseck Castle was built on the rocky plateau that slopes down on all sides. The aim was to protect the Maursmünster Abbey. The castle was once surrounded by a strong ring wall, which can still be visited today. At the entrance to the castle you can admire the large keep, which has been preserved in its full height. In the northwest you will find a few outbuildings. In the south, however, parts of the castle are still buried under the ground and have not yet been explored.

The castle complex consists of three individual structures, each built on a rock (large castle (southern castle), small castle and Wachelheim). The name Wachelheim later referred to the small castle and northern castle (formerly Wachelheim).
