Château Saint-Paul, Medieval castle in Wissembourg, France.
Château Saint-Paul is a three-story square tower in Wissembourg with walls roughly 7 meters wide, displaying features from the 13th century. The structure preserves typical defensive elements from that medieval period.
The castle was founded in 1262 under Abbot Edelin of Wissembourg and completed as a fortress by 1293. This development reflects how the region expanded its defensive capabilities during that time.
The castle shows how Wissembourg changed in medieval times, transforming religious sites into fortified homes for nobility. Visitors can see this blend of church and fortress in the building today.
The castle is privately owned and visitors should respect posted notices and the privacy of current residents. From public areas nearby, you can see the structure from the outside fairly well.
The castle has a high arched doorway on the second floor that shows how entrances were placed for defense. Another feature is a large reinforced arched doorway with a carved stone marker dating to 1830.
