Wangenbourg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Located on top of a rock formation in the middle of the forest, this magnificent ruined castle offers a beautiful view of Wangenbourg-Engenthal and its surroundings. Besides its setting, the fortification is a jewel in itself because of its vast enclosure. It has been classified as a historical monument since 1898.
