Château de Hohenfels, Medieval castle in Dambach, France
The castle stands on a sandstone outcrop at 350 meters elevation, featuring a dry moat that divides the structure into eastern and western sections.
Built around 1300, the castle belonged to the Knights of Ettendorf in 1293 and later changed ownership to the Fénétrange family in 1369.
The fortress represents medieval military architecture with its defense system, including bossy walls and a carved rock chamber in the western section.
The castle remains are freely accessible every day, located on stage 4 of the Alsace Castle Trail between Windstein and Hanau pond.
Archaeological excavations at this site uncovered numerous artifacts now displayed in the Niederbronn museum, documenting daily life from medieval times.
