Castroville Historic District, Historic district in Castroville, Texas, US.

The district stretches across 420 acres along the Medina River, featuring numerous residential structures with thick limestone walls and cypress wood beams.

Henri Castro established this settlement in 1844, bringing European families from Alsace and Baden regions to populate his land grant near San Antonio.

The district contains twelve designated properties, including the Landmark Inn State Historic Site, St. Louis Catholic Church, and residences with colonial Alsatian architecture.

Visitors can obtain walking tour maps at the Steinbach Haus Visitor Center to explore over 70 buildings constructed between 1844 and 1920.

The Steinbach Haus, originally constructed in France between 1618 and 1648, was dismantled, transported, and reconstructed in Castroville as a visitor center.
