Château de Wildenstein, Medieval fortress in Kruth, France.
Wildenstein Castle stands on a granite rocky outcrop at 666 meters elevation, controlling the Thur Valley in the Alsace region.
In 1312, Count Ulrich III of Ferrette received permission to build on Mount Wildenstein, entrusting management to Pierre de Bollwiller.
The Abbey of Murbach undertook the castle reconstruction between 1552 and 1570, adding circular towers and a chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross.
Visitors reach the castle through a 20-meter tunnel carved into rock, following a path from the lake parking area.
A 30-meter underground gallery completely crosses the rocky base, providing access to the lower courtyard of the castle.
