Hohlandsbourg Castle
Built on a mountain summit, Hohlandsbourg Castle offers a magnificent all-round panorama over the plain of Alsace and the Vosges Mountains.

A special itinerary provides a picture of and helps to understand the history, organisation and place of the castle, from the very first Bronze Age site to the contemporary epoch.

Live in Alsace in the 12th and 13th Centuries
Created by the Archives of Alsace, this exhibition will bring to life this period of splendour, which is far removed from preconceived ideas about the Middle Ages.
In a dozen panels, with numerous visuals and models, it retraces the medieval and cross-border "golden age", which represented a formidable economic, spiritual and artistic boom for the region.
This was the great age of castles, with numerous buildings throughout the region.
The exhibition is based on a selection of copies of charters (originals kept in the Alsace Archives) and 1/350° scale models of emblematic castles in Alsace.
Supported by: Collectivité européenne d’Alsace
In partnership with: Archives d’Alsace, Mini Châteaux (Etienne Fritsch and Piotr Klimczyk)
