Château de Lutzelbourg, Medieval fortress in Lutzelbourg, France
The stone fortress stands at 322 meters elevation on a rocky peak above the Zorn Valley, featuring thick walls and a 24-meter square tower.
Pierre de Lutzelbourg, son of Count Frederick of Montbeliard, established the castle in the 11th century and negotiated its exchange with Marmoutier Abbey around 1100.
The castle entrance displays a carved stone face on its lintel, representing medieval protective symbols common in regional architecture.
The ruins remain open throughout the year without entrance fees, accessible through a marked trail from Lutzelbourg village requiring a 30-minute uphill walk.
In 1840, notary Adolf Germain prevented the castle's demolition when owners planned to sell its stones for railway construction materials.
