A stunning view of the Rhine plain and the Kaiserstuhl hills, well worth seeing. The tower can be easily climbed via a spiral staircase; the ascent is very narrow via a stone staircase inside the tower.

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.

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.

Beautiful view, entrance to the castle 10 euros.

You can go up there; nice view. By mountain bike, it is better to arrive via the lower path; just a few steps to go
