Description

The destiny of the castle was linked to that of Grand-Geroldseck. It dates from the 13th century. The ruins themselves are of limited interest, but they provide a view of the hills of Alsace.

The lower court, the keep and remnant of the corps de logis are still visible.

The ruins can be reached from Saverne, on the D171 road and a forest road to Hexentisch, from where a path marked with red crossed leads to the site.
