Wasenbourg, Medieval rock castle in Niederbronn-les-Bains, France.
The castle stands at 432 meters above sea level with a massive shield wall measuring 22 meters in height and 3.7 meters in width.
Built in 1272, the castle changed ownership multiple times, passing from the Lichtenberg family to the Deux-Ponts-Bitche in 1480 and Hanau-Lichtenberg in 1570.
The castle features a Gothic window with nine lancets and seven oculi, representing a remarkable architectural element in the Vosges du Nord region.
Visitors can access both floors of the main building and observe the 13th-century frieze decorated with a human head inside the residence.
The remains of a Gallo-Roman temple dedicated to Mercury, dating from 90 CE, are located behind the castle ruins.
