Grand Arnsbourg

It stands proudly, at an altitude of 338m, to the south-west of the village. This castle was built in the 12th century by the Counts of Alsace.

The Lords of Lichtenberg became proprietor in 1332 and the castle underwent vast restoration.

In 1525, during the Peasants’ War, it was partially attacked. It changed hands several times and it was under the reign of Louis XIV, that Baron Montclar completely destroyed it. Some traces can still be seen, notably the square tower. Since the storm in 1999, its access is forbidden to the public.
