Although the few remaining ruins of this structure are called a castle, it appears that the site was first used as a Roman temple and then as a Christian church. Nearby are superb rock formations typical of the Northern Vosges Mountains.

Accessible from various directions and/or accessible as a circular walk. The walk up the mountain is quite long.

Very beautiful places in the calm of the forest

The remains are not the ruins of a small castle, as the popular name might suggest, but rather the remains of a Roman or Gallo-Roman sanctuary from the 2nd century, with a second phase of use in the 4th century. It may have later been used as a Christian church. In Curt Mündel's guide to the Vosges Mountains (1911 edition), the ruins are referred to as "Meisenbacher Schlössel," and the rock below as "Ochsenstall" (Oxen Stable), probably because the rock overhang was formerly used as a shelter for cattle.

The Ochsenstall Rock offers an exhilarating mountain biking experience with its rugged terrain and steep slopes. The highlight of your ride is the Ochsenstall Cave, an intriguing little cavern located beneath the rock formations. This cave, carved out by natural forces, offers a moment of exploration and a unique view of the surrounding landscape. It is the perfect place to take a break.

I was there after a period of heavy rain and the pond was well filled. The trees were reflected in the water. At this point, the most beautiful highlight of the entire tour. The trees were reflected in the water

Not much left to see but easy to incorporate as a loop from the main path.

The shelter was probably also used as an ox stable. There is a covered bench there.
