Hunebourg Castle
A secret gem of energy, renewal and inspiration
in the heart of the Northern Vosges forest
Description
Perched on its rocky spur, proudly dominating the Zinsel valley, Hunebourg Castle seems to emerge from a fairy tale. Its ruins, vestiges of a glorious past, and its neo-Romanesque reconstructions evoke an atmosphere that is both medieval and romantic.
Founded in the 12th century, this fortified castle has witnessed many historical events. It served as a refuge for powerful lords and resisted many sieges. The centuries have passed, leaving the castle to blend into the landscape.
In the 20th century, new life was breathed into this monument. The architect Karl Erich Loebell was able to breathe new life into this place full of history, giving it a neo-Romanesque appearance that gives it a timeless elegance. The towers, battlements and arrow slits evoke the fortified castles of the Middle Ages, while the interiors offer modern comfort.
Today, Hunebourg Castle is a place full of history and mystery. Visitors can stroll through this exceptional place, imagine the lives of the lords who stayed there, and enjoy a panoramic view of the region.
