Dachstein lies off the main roads in Alsace and is therefore less developed for tourism. The village nevertheless boasts some noteworthy buildings, such as: the medieval city gate, the Porte de la Bruche, the Church of St. Martin (Église Saint-Martin), which still retains Gothic elements, a nave, and a Baroque altar; the Renaissance castle (extended in the 19th century in the Neo-Renaissance style) of the de Turckheim family, the Château de Turckheim, or the Vieux Château. It was formerly a summer residence for some of the bishops of Strasbourg; the old washhouse, and the Château Hervé Bourcart, or "La Magnanerie." It is located closer to the village center and was built in 1750 as a private villa that housed the royal silkworm breeding school. It has been owned by the Hervé family since 1838. In the 1990s, the castle and its idyllic surroundings served as the setting for the film saga "The Alsatians." Magnan is an Occitan word meaning mulberry. The Magnanerie is the headquarters of a silkworm farm. The streets of Dachstein are lined with several traditional half-timbered houses, some with carved wooden galleries.

very nice view and a good place to eat

A beautiful large castle ruin

Beautiful entrance to Dachstein lovingly decorated for Easter

The site is well maintained. Free and accessible to all. The parking lot is a 5-minute walk away

It is worth climbing the steep steps of the ruins to the top of the remains of the tower... From the top you have a wonderful view over the wooded hills of the Vosges...

The castle ruins in the natural area, which have been listed as a historical monument since 1898, are not the remains of one but of two castles. The lower castle (Unternideck) was probably built in the first half of the 13th century. Today, the square keep and a fortified wall that separated the residential building can still be seen. The keep shows a change in the structure that indicates an interruption in construction (formats and unevenness of the stones, structure of the vaults...). The upper castle (Obernideck) was probably built in the 14th century. Its ruins are less well preserved, only a few heavily restored walls can still be seen. A castle on the Nideck was first mentioned in 1264. Sire Burckart lived here at that time. From 1336, the castle was a fief of the Diocese of Strasbourg and was then given to the citizens of Strasbourg. The inhabitants of both castles concluded several truces, especially in 1393 and 1422. These "peace treaties", which bear witness to the history of the place, laid down the rules for coexistence, supplies and armament of the fortress. From the 15th century onwards, the castle changed hands several times in successive attacks. The castle was finally destroyed in 1636 in the Thirty Years' War. Text of the information board

Guirbaden Castle is the largest medieval fortification in Alsace. From 1219 onwards, Friedrich II von Staufen built a palatial-like palace at Guirbaden Castle with great effort, the largest in Alsace. Guirbaden Castle can be reached via hiking trails from Mollkirch in the east, Grendelbruch in the west, the Fischhütte in the south and the Floessplatz in the Breuschtal in the north.
