Château de Herrenstein, Medieval castle ruins in Neuwiller-lès-Saverne, France
The remains of Château de Herrenstein sit on elevated ground, featuring defensive walls and architectural elements from multiple construction periods.
The castle was constructed around 1200 by the Counts of Eguisheim-Dabo to protect Neuviller Abbey and control the surrounding villages including Dettwiller and Hattmatt.
The fortress stands as a testament to medieval military architecture and represents the power dynamics between religious and secular authorities in medieval Alsace.
Visitors can locate the castle ruins using the coordinates 48°49'29"N and 7°23'41"E, with access through the commune of Neuwiller-lès-Saverne in Bas-Rhin.
The castle underwent modifications by architect Daniel Specklin in the 16th century to adapt its defenses against artillery, before its destruction by French forces in 1673.
