# Château de l'Œdenbourg

Orschwiller, Bas-Rhin, Grand Est

Château de l'Œdenbourg stands in Orschwiller (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: milieu 13th century, 14th century, 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

A few hundred metres from the famous Haut-Koenigsbourg castle, the Œdenbourg ruins occupy a fortified site dating back to at least the 9th century, later built over with a Gothic castle in the 13th century. Once nicknamed the Petit-Koenigsbourg, this site was already abandoned by the early 15th century, offering a striking contrast to its restored neighbour: what remains here are the raw remnants of a keep and a shield wall, set in wooded surroundings overlooking the Villé valley and the Alsace plain. The visit suits those seeking medieval history without the tourist staging.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
