Website

The château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg is nestled at a strategic location on a high hill overlooking the Alsatian plain; as a result it was used by successive powers from the Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War when it was abandoned. In 1900 it was restored under the direction of Emperor Wilhelm II. Today it is a major tourist attraction. Le Pavillon du 757 is a small souvenir shop and restaurant just outside the castle grounds.
