About the location

Château de Kaysersberg

Rue du Général de Gaulle, 68240 Kaysersberg

Haut-Rhin
Grand Est

An ancient empire town, Kaysersberg has its imperial castle. Built in 1227 by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen to block roads coming from Lorraine, the village is an important strategic place in the war between the Empire and the Dukes of Lorraine. A huge cylindrical keep, one of the oldest round keep of Alsace, whose walls are more than 4 m thick, is a curiosity in itself.
Inside this wall and under the protection of the keep, admire also the seigneurial home with its windows in a broken arch! But above all, don’t miss out on a magnificent view: take the 100-step staircase that will take you to the top of the keep to enjoy a splendid panorama of Kaysersberg and the vineyard.
