Château de Schœneck

The Château de Schœneck is a ruined castle situated in the commune of Dambach, in the French département of Bas-Rhin.

Destroyed around 1280, it was rebuilt in 1286 and is mentioned in 1287 as the property of the Bishop of Strasbourg, ally of the Habsburgs.

The castle has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1984.

[1] A small vaulted door and a larger entrance flanked by two 16th century bastions with cannon holes are still visible.

The remains of the manor buildings appear as a Lombard frieze, notably because of the bay windows on the upper level outside the western curtain wall, with their narrow semi-circular arches.
