Château de la Neuenbourg

The Château de la Neuenbourg is an 18th-century castle in Guebwiller featuring a distinctive horseshoe staircase as a central element. Multiple floors contain exhibition spaces and visitor areas arranged throughout the building's structure.

The castle began as a noble residence and later transformed into an industrial facility that employed many workers. In recent decades it was converted into a cultural center devoted to preserving and sharing local heritage.

The château houses an interpretation center focused on regional building styles, wine production, and textile crafts of the area. Visitors can see how these trades shaped local life and continue to influence what people do in the region today.

Guided tours and educational workshops are available to visitors, with information provided at the reception desk. It is helpful to check ahead for current opening times and tour availability before planning your visit.

Inside the castle, the European Institute of Ceramic Arts operates studios and training spaces dedicated to the craft. This living workshop area shows how the region's ceramic tradition continues through contemporary hands-on practice.
