CHÂTEAU DU FALKENSTEIN
Go there and contact
The ruins of this semi-troglodyte castle, whose origins date back to the beginning of the 12th century, dominate the valley of the Zinsel. The name Falkenstein, which is also that of a lineage that owned the place from the 13th to the 16th century, means "rock of the falcons" and corresponds to the physiognomy of the place. In 1564, after many successions and while it was recently in the hands of Philippe IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg, the fortification was ravaged by fire. What remained of it (notably the bailey) was razed to the ground in 1680 by the troops of Louis XIV.
