Château de Hohenbourg

The Château de Hohenbourg is a ruined castle in the commune of Wingen, in the Bas-Rhin département of France.

[1] The castle is partly built within the rock and dates to the mid-13th century.

Its origins remain obscure; the first known occupants were the Pullers, known as the Hohenbourgs.

In 1680, the castle was destroyed by the armies of Joseph de Montclar on the orders of Louis XIV.

[2] The artillery tower is a fine example of early 16th century military architecture.
