Château de Ramstein, Medieval castle ruins in Scherwiller, France
The remains of Ramstein Castle include two sections of wall from the residential tower, featuring different levels, a chimney, and a large archway.
Otto von Ochsenstein constructed Ramstein Castle in 1293 as a strategic position to support the siege of the neighboring Ortenburg fortress.
The structure represents medieval Alsatian military architecture with its remaining walls demonstrating period construction techniques and defense capabilities.
Access to the castle interior remains restricted for safety reasons, but visitors can view the exterior during specific heritage events throughout the year.
The castle features the largest archway niche in Alsace, specifically designed to accommodate a massive crossbow for defending against neighboring fortifications.
