Another castle on our wine and mountain bike tours

At the end of the ridge, at an altitude of 443 meters, lies Ortenbourg Castle, built between 1260 and 1265 by Rudolf Habsburg and one of the most beautiful ruins in the Rhine Valley. A masterpiece of military architecture, with its high gorge surrounding a 32-meter-long dungeon, it is visible from afar and blends perfectly into the landscape. This dungeon offered six levels of defensive fire, and its pentagonal design allowed for better deflection of attackers' projectiles. The recently founded association "Les sentinelles de l'Ortenbourg" (Ortenbourg Sentinels) aims to preserve, expand, and revitalize the castle.

The town of Châtenois, with approximately 4,300 inhabitants, is located in the Grand Est region and belongs to the Bas-Rhin department, Sélestat-Erstein arrondissement. A wine-growing community, Châtenois lies at the foot of the Hahnenberg (530 m) in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains, on the Alsace Wine Route and the EuroVelo 5 Alsace Vineyard Cycle Route. Before the town's founding, the Romans planted a chestnut forest there. The French name "Châtenois" is derived from this, and is synonymous with the original dialectal Alemannic name "Keschtaholtz" – meaning "chestnut wood" and "chestnut wood" in High German. In 1807, the village bore its current name, Châtenois. In 1871, it was Germanized as Kestenholz before reverting to its French name after the Second World War. Before the town's founding, the Romans planted a chestnut forest there. Châtenois has a beautiful old town; the main tourist street is located in Rue du Maréchal Foch.
