Château de Dreistein, Medieval castle ruins in Ottrott, France.
The fortress consists of three separate castles built on rocky outcrops, constructed entirely from pink sandstone from the Vosges mountains.
Built during the 13th century, the castle complex evolved into two distinct sections before its destruction in the 17th century.
The French Ministry of Culture designated Château de Dreistein as a monument historique in 1990, preserving its historical architecture.
The castle remains are accessible only by hiking trails maintained by the Vosges Club, requiring moderate physical effort to reach.
The name Dreistein derives from medieval German, meaning three stones, reflecting the three separate fortifications on the promontories.
