Wasenbourg

Wasenbourg (German: Wasenburg), located 400 metres in height on the northwest hillside of Reisberg, is a ruined castle in the North Vosges.

[2] Although its origins are fairly obscure, the historians attribute generally its construction, by 1273, to Conrad de Lichtenberg, then bishop of Strasbourg.

Jean-Jacob Niedheimer, baillif of Hanau, takes advantage of it to occupy the place and assumes even the title of nobility "of Wasenbourg".

East of the lower yard raises a rock known as "le Wachtfelsen", testimony of a Roman worship dedicated to the god Mercury.

The access to the lodging house is made by a door in broken bow overhung by a sculptured head integrated into a Gothic frieze.
