Rohan Castle, Neoclassical episcopal castle in Saverne, France

The 140-meter-long palace displays a pink sandstone facade with Corinthian pilasters, tall columns, and cast-iron eagles from the Napoleonic period.

Cardinal Louis René Édouard de Rohan-Guéméné commissioned architect Nicolas Alexandre Salins de Montfort to rebuild the palace between 1780 and 1790 after a fire.

The castle museum presents collections of art, local history, and archaeology, including the notable Louise Weiss collection depicting European historical events.

The castle functions as a cultural center with a youth hostel, elementary school, museum, and the Espace Rohan theater hosting performances throughout the year.

The Salles Lully and Marie-Antoinette rooms provide event spaces near the marina, while the Jean-Louis-Barrault auditorium accommodates 500 spectators.
