The idyllic half-timbered town on the Alsatian Wine Route enchants with its beautiful medieval old town with remains of the old city fortifications, numerous decorated half-timbered houses and the ruins of Kaysersberg Castle.

The old town is famous for its well-preserved half-timbered houses, narrow streets, and bridges spanning the Weiss (a tributary of the Fecht). The Renaissance town hall and the Romanesque church of Sainte-Croix with its carved triumphal cross are particularly impressive. Kaysersberg is a center of Alsatian wine production, especially for Riesling. The town is part of the Alsace Wine Route.

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.

I loved the old town of Kaysersberg.

A magnificent castle! The walk along the castle walls offers beautiful views over the Alsatian wine-growing villages and towns... and especially the Vosges Mountains.

Very beautiful and little trafficked city

Beautiful view, entrance to the castle 10 euros.
