Château du Nideck, Medieval castle ruins in Oberhaslach, France.
The site contains two separate castles from different periods, with the upper castle featuring a shield wall and the lower castle maintaining a square keep.
First documented in 1264, the castle belonged to Sire Bourckard before becoming a fief of the Bishop of Strasbourg in 1336.
The castle inspired a tale about giants collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1816, where a giant's daughter discovers farmers in the Alsace plains.
Visitors can park at the Nideck Forest House and follow a marked trail that takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the castle ruins.
The castle overlooks the Nideck waterfall and contains architectural elements from both the 13th and 14th centuries within its remaining structures.
