Château de Hartmannswiller

The Chateau de Hartmannswiller is a stone fortress in the Haut-Rhin with around 750 square meters of living space, featuring towers, spiral staircases, and vaulted cellars. The grounds encompass about 3.5 hectares of wooded land with an additional residence and a farmhouse that needs restoration.

The castle was first documented in 1322, establishing its long history as a defensive structure. Over the centuries it witnessed territorial shifts between France and Germany that shaped the region.

The castle displays architectural features from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, showing how regional building styles evolved over centuries. You can see these different stylistic influences as you explore the rooms and structures throughout the property.

The building can be viewed from the exterior, allowing visitors to see the various architectural elements from outside. The wooded surroundings make a walk around the property pleasant, though some areas may be restricted or only partially accessible.

Trees over 200 years old grow on the grounds, creating a direct connection between the medieval architecture and nature. These ancient trees give the place a special quality that sits between human creation and the living landscape.
