Château de La Petite-Pierre, Medieval castle in La Petite-Pierre, France
The castle features Romanesque windows, Renaissance decorations on its well, and Gothic ornaments across its polygonal stone structure, perched above the village.
Built in the 12th century as a stronghold by Count Hugues IV of Nordgau, the castle became an episcopal fortress under the Bishop of Strasbourg.
The castle now functions as the administrative center for the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park, preserving local heritage and traditions.
Located at Rue du Château in La Petite-Pierre, the castle requires a 5-minute walk from the parking area and offers guided tours.
An underground network of tunnels and water tanks extends beneath the castle, creating a mysterious water collection system.
