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.

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.

Current entrance fee 10€ adult

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.

Be sure to take a walk along the fortress wall.

Hohlandsbourg Castle is located at an altitude of 620 meters and offers an exceptional 360° view over the Black Forest, the Alsace plain and the Vosges massif. Built on the initiative of the Habsburgs (13th-17th centuries), it is a fine example of military architecture in Alsace until the Thirty Years' War, which saw its demise. The high granite walls surround a large completion dominated by the fortified castle to the north. During a fun and interactive tour you can see and understand the history of the castle, from its original Bronze Age location to the present day. Opening period: from 1st day in April to 2nd day in November.

Kaysersberg in Alsace impresses with its many beautiful old half-timbered houses and is an absolute highlight.
