Châtenois, Administrative division in Châtenois, France
The commune of Châtenois, also known as Kestenholz, lies at the foot of Hahnenberg mountain near the Alsace Wine Route in northeastern France.
The settlement evolved from a Celtic site to a Roman settlement named Castinetum, referring to the presence of chestnut trees in the area.
The fortified cemetery of Châtenois, enclosed by double walls and moats, represents the largest structure of its kind in the Alsace region.
The municipality covers 14.57 square kilometers and maintains a network of interpretive trails along the ramparts, leading through streets with Alsatian houses.
The Witches Tower, a Gothic gate modified in 1830, stands as a reminder of witch trials conducted in Châtenois between 1619 and 1629.
