As a former Free Imperial City, Kaysersberg boasts its imperial castle. Built around 1200 to block the roads coming from Lorraine, it was a strategically important location in the war between the Holy Roman Empire and the Dukes of Lorraine. A massive cylindrical keep, one of the oldest round keeps in Alsace, with walls over 4 meters thick, is a sight to behold in itself. Within these walls and under the keep's protection, you can also admire the lord's residence with its pointed-arch windows! But above all, don't miss the magnificent view: Climb the 122 steps to the top of the keep and enjoy a breathtaking panorama of Kaysersberg, the valley entrance on the mountainside, the vineyards, and, on a clear day, even the Black Forest in Germany. From the old town, two staircases and a path through the vineyards lead to the castle ruins.

The Saint Leo Chapel was built in the Romanesque Revival style on the site where the keep once stood. It was consecrated in 1894 and dedicated to Saint Leo. Inside, Martin painted medallions on the vault in the 11th-century style, depicting seven scenes from the life of Saint Leo. The windows, dating from 1895, depict the saints of Alsace, many of whom were members of the Counts of Eguisheim.

The so-called “palace of the lords of Eguisheim” refers to the original castle of Eguisheim, which was built in the 8th century by Eberhard, Duke of Alsace and nephew of Saint Odilia 1. This castle formed the centre of the village and gave rise to the unique concentric urban structure of Eguisheim, with the houses and streets built in circles around the castle. Although the original castle has largely disappeared, its remains are integrated into the Chapelle Saint-Léon, which was built on the site of the old keep. This chapel and the surrounding Place du Château Saint-Léon today form the symbolic heart of the village. Here you will also find the statue of Pope Leo IX, who was born in this castle in 1002.

The view from the tower is excellent. The climb up the tower is in complete darkness in some places. At least the steps are even and there is a railing.
