The Ferrette castle is one of the oldest in Alsace, first mentioned in 1105.

In 1196, the Frankenbourg-Werd family became Landgrave of Lower Alsace, representing the Emperor. Rapidly declining, the fief passed to the Bishopric of Strasbourg and was managed by various families. The Grand Chapter managed the castle from 1489 to 1789, but it was gradually abandoned from the 17th century, with its last mention in 1634.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The castle, built in about 1262 by Albrecht Kagen, was destroyed four times in the 14th and 15th centuries.Rebuilt circa 1430, and then enlarged and elevated in around 1507 by the Uttenheims, it was abandoned as early as the end of the 16th century. Since 2002, an archaeological dig and restoration worksite has revealed a castle that is amazing for its richness and dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A true eagle's nest built in the 14th century as a forward post by the Abbey of Wissembourg, the castle was held as a fief in 1335 by the knight Frederick of Wasigenstein, who became a highwayman. The peacekeepers intervened militarily to besiege the castle. In 1360, it was occupied by the lords of Ochsenstein. Upon their extinction, the castle passed in 1485 to the Counts of Deux-Ponts-Bitche, who undertook its restoration. It changed hands several times before becoming the property of the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg in 1606, and was likely dismantled after the Thirty Years' War. Remnants include staircases and rock-hewn passages, as well as vestiges of the lordly palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lutzelhardt castle ruins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n

The construction of the castle is attributed to the Duke of Lorraine around the mid-12th century to protect the Abbey of Sturzelbronn. In 1297, the Counts of Bitche, guardians of the Lorraine border, acquired the castle. It became a subordinate fief of the Fleckenstein in 1363, and then fell into the hands of Wirich of Hohenbourg in 1450. In 1570, the castle was occupied by the Duke of Lorraine's troops and was abandoned in 1606. Some believe that Lutzelhardt was already in ruins, possibly destroyed during the Peasants' War in 1525, while others suggest it was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. Today, remnants of a square keep, several lodgings, a well, and a cistern remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perched on nearly inaccessible rocks, facing St. Ulrich Castle, Grisberg Castle, with its pentagonal donjon, was built around 1250 by the Ribeaupierre on a rocky spur, likely to reinforce their defense. This small structure never served as a residence for the Ribeaupierre. In the early 14th century, it was granted to the noble Girsberg family, who gave it their name. The visible remains today date from several periods: the pentagonal donjon, made of stone, granite, and sandstone, dates back to the 13th century and is classified as a historical monument. The residential building, consisting of two structures and a semicircular tower, dates from the 14th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first castle was likely built at the end of the 12th century by a branch of the Fleckenstein, taking the name Hohenbourg, later known as Puller de Hohenbourg (first mentioned in 1263). In 1482, upon the death of the last heir, it passed to the Sickingen, a powerful Palatine family. Fran\u00e7ois de Sickingen transformed the fortress in 1520 to adapt it for artillery, with embellishments added between 1572 and 1575. The Hohenbourg then served as an occasional residence for the Sickingen before being destroyed by Montclar's armies in 1680 on the orders of Louis XIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 1370, the site was divided between the Ochsenstein and Hans Streuff of Landenberg. In 1386, Hennel and Hans of Bitche, allies of the Ochsenstein, launched raids from the castle before it was dismantled by Strasbourg. Its final destruction remains a mystery.
