Château de Schœneck, Medieval rock castle in Dambach, France.
The Château de Schœneck stands on a rocky ridge at 380 meters altitude, featuring two distinct sections connected by a courtyard and defensive walls.
Built in the late 13th century to control brigands, the castle belonged to the Bishop of Strasbourg before French troops destroyed it in 1680 under Louis XIV.
The castle exhibits architectural elements from different periods, including 13th-century rustic bosses and 16th-century bastions with cannon holes.
The ruins of Château de Schœneck can be accessed through a marked trail from road D53 between Obersteinbach and Wineckerthal.
The association Cun Ulmer Grün has been conducting archaeological excavations since 2000, revealing artifacts such as a 1676 gunport lintel.
