Château de Hagueneck, Medieval castle in Wettolsheim, France.
The castle stands at 420 meters elevation with a square keep, palace section, outbuildings, stables, and a projecting defensive bastion.
Built around 1230, the castle belonged to Burckhard de Hagueneck, a vassal of the Bishop of Strasbourg, before passing to several regional families.
The castle reflects the architectural preferences of medieval Alsatian nobility, focusing on residential comfort rather than military defense capabilities.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked path with red diamond signs, starting from a dedicated parking area near Wettolsheim.
During the winter of 1945, local villagers found shelter in the castle ruins while the Battle of Colmar raged in the surrounding area.
