Dagsburg, Rock castle in Dabo, France
The pink sandstone Rocher de Dabo rises to 650 meters altitude, measuring 30 meters high, 80 meters long, and 26 meters wide in the Vosges forest.
The castle constructed in 934 by Count Eberhard I of Dagsburg-Eguisheim served as a strategic fortification until its destruction in 1679 under Louis XIV's orders.
The neo-Romanesque chapel at the summit commemorates Pope Leo IX, who was born in Dabo, and features decorative paintings inside its renovated interior.
Visitors reach the site by car, park in a designated lot, and climb 62 steps to access the viewing platform, with admission costing 2 euros for adults.
The structure combines three distinct elements: a 200-million-year-old sandstone formation, medieval castle remains, and a nineteenth-century religious building.
