Schoeneck Castle

Highlight • Castle

A very well-explained castle complex, which is divided into several stages and, with its illustrations from the various phases of destruction, provides a good insight into late medieval life and fortifications.

Château du Wineck

Highlight • Castle

Apart from walking around it once, there is nothing more you can do at this heavily decayed ruin. It would also be far too complex and expensive to invest anything here anymore.

Very good and well-thought-out, built hut with a plexiglass pane and benches on the outer walls.
