Raised at an altitude of 322 m, the castle's promontory offers a breathtaking view of the Zorn valley. This former castle takes its name from Lutzel Burg, meaning "small castle", since it extends over almost 90 hectares of land! Originally, the village of Lutzelbourg belonged to the abbey of Marmoutier. The latter, to establish its power and hegemony, had a fortress built in the year 930. In the 12th century, the castle fell into the hands of Peter of Falkenstein, who later became Count of Lutzelbourg. In particular, he undertook the construction of the fortified town used to defend the southern side of the estate. After the death of Peter of Lutzelbourg (1133), several lords ruled the castle. Today, the remains of the castle are based in particular on the square tower of Fénétrange, the pentagonal tower with 3 levels, and the Koeberlé villa. The ruins of the castle were declared national property during the French Revolution. In 1900, the new owner carried out a restoration campaign and built a neo-Romanesque style house for his personal use. Since 1978, the castle has belonged to the commune and is the pride of the village!

Für erwachsene interessant zu sehen, für Kinder auch, sofern sie sich dafür interessieren. Für die 3-jährige haben wir eine spannende Geschichte darum gebaut. Sie war dann Feuer und Flamme.
Es ist schön dort oben - top Ausblick. Aber Vorsicht - nicht jede Stelle ist vor Absturz gesichert.
Der Weg ins Tal geht dann schnurstracks wieder nach unten.
Es gibt übrigens auch Parkplätze vor dem Schloss.
Wir kommen gerne wieder.
La vue sur la vallée avec le quadruple axe chemin de fer/route/Zorn /canal de la Marne au Rhin est spectaculaire !
L'amateur de châteaux forts que je suis rêverait d'une nouvelle tranche de travaux de restauration pour rendre le site définitivement incroyable,mais qui sait ce que l'avenir réserve a ce beau site ?
