Château de Pflixbourg, Medieval castle ruins in Wintzenheim, France.
The Château de Pflixbourg stands at 454 meters altitude on a granite hill, featuring a circular tower and a pentagonal outer wall system.
Built between 1212 and 1219, the castle served as an imperial fortress to monitor the entrance of the Munster Valley until its abandonment in the 15th century.
The castle's name derives from Blickisberc in German, meaning castle with a view, reflecting the historical French-German cultural exchanges in Alsace.
The castle ruins, located at coordinates 48°4′2″N and 7°15′16″E, are currently classified as a protected historical monument since December 17, 1968.
The castle entrance design includes inward-curved curtain walls with arrow slits, representing an exceptional architectural feature in the region.
