Hohlandsbourg Castle
Built on a mountain summit, Hohlandsbourg Castle offers a magnificent all-round panorama over the plain of Alsace and the Vosges Mountains. This garrison stronghold built in the 13th century was the seat of the Lords of Habsburg. Measuring 100 m long and 60 m wide, this is the largest fortified castle in Alsace. 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. Visit, exhibition, workshops, events, catering, shop, space rental. Open from the 1st Saturday in April to the 2nd Sunday in November. Find us on our website : www.chateau-hohlandsbourg.com.

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)
