Castle of the XIIIth century dominating the Andlau Valley, with dungeon, shield walls and remains of frescos, organizes a medieval festival

At 451 meters above sea level on a granite promontory at Rothmannsberg, this 13th-century fortified castle dominates the Val d'Andlau. It offers a fine view of Andlau castle. The 24-metre keep is accessed through a high gateway. There are two dwellings encircled by a curtain wall on the west side, shield walls and some remains of frescoes in the seigniorial dwelling on the east side. During the medieval festival, a number of events are organized on the site, including banquet re-enactments, knight combat demonstrations and craftsmen in medieval costumes.

Il castello si trova in cima ad una altura, a circa 460 metri di altezza.
Fu costruito da Alexander von der Dicka, nobile di Strasburgo.
All'estinzione dei suoi discendenti, morti nella battaglia di Sempach, fu occupato per un breve periodo, dai Bavaresi, che vennero a loro volta scacciati dai Signori di Andlau, che riconquistarono la fortezza.
Rimase di loro proprietà fino a che venne distrutto ed incendiato dagli abitanti di Barr, nel 1550, per vendicare una loro concittadina, disonorata da uno dei Conti.
Da allora, rimase in stato di abbandono.
Oggi, restaurato e messo in sicurezza, è accessibile al pubblico ( gratuitamente..) da Pasqua ad Ottobre.
Si raggiunge a piedi, in circa 15 minuti di sentiero, partendo dal posteggio presso l'Auberge du Hungerplatz.

Le château offre une belle vue.

Joli château en ruine. Néanmoins par rapport à beaucoup de ruines alsacienne se dernier a été un petit peu restauré. Autre point fort, il est facilement accessible mais il existe plusieurs chemins y menant dont certains sont plus "sportif"
