Maison des Rochers de Graufthal

The Maison des Rochers consists of three semi-troglodyte houses constructed within red sandstone cliffs, standing seven meters above the village street.

Following the devastating wars of the 17th century, families who lost their homes found shelter by creating living spaces within natural rock cavities.

These rock houses represent the resourcefulness of local inhabitants who adapted natural formations into functional living spaces in the northern Vosges region.

The site offers guided tours for 25 euros plus 2 euros per person, with regular admission tickets priced at 2.50 euros and free entry for children under 12.

The buildings feature partial tile roofs where rock ceilings do not provide natural coverage, and include an elevated match factory in the upper shelter.
