Château du Hohlandsbourg, Medieval castle in Wintzenheim, France.

The stone fortress stretches 100 meters in length and 60 meters in width on a mountain summit at 600 meters altitude in Alsace.

The castle originated in 1279 under Siegfried of Gundolsheim's command, following authorization from King Rudolf I of Habsburg.

The renovated castle hosts medieval reenactments, exhibitions about daily castle life, and displays artifacts from archaeological excavations.

The castle welcomes visitors from April through November, offering guided tours, a restaurant, and special rates for families and groups.

The fortress walls contain visible marks that local traditions associate with dragon presence during medieval times.
