Château de Wangenbourg, Medieval castle in Wangenbourg-Engenthal, France.
The castle features a polygonal outer wall, incorporating a chapel tower, residential buildings, and the remains of a water filtering system in its courtyard.
Built in the 13th century by the Lords of Wangen, the castle changed hands multiple times until French troops occupied it in 1680, leading to its decline.
The castle represents architectural transitions through centuries, from medieval defensive structures to Renaissance residential modifications completed between 1535 and 1550.
Located at 480 meters altitude, the castle ruins can be reached through a short forest walk from the parking area, with free entry for visitors.
The castle maintains its original water filtering tank system within the courtyard, demonstrating medieval engineering capabilities for water management.
