The ruined castle of Schirmeck stands on a wooded height overlooking the Bruche valley in the Bas-Rhin region. Built in the early 13th century, it was destroyed by Swedish troops in 1633 during the Thirty Years' War and never rebuilt; over the following centuries its stones were reused to build a church steeple and village houses. What remains today, partly restored by the town in 1969, can be freely explored from the outside and offers an open view over the surrounding countryside.
What to know
- The visit is limited to the exterior, the ruins cannot be entered.
- Access is free of charge.
- The site sits on a hill, so some walking is required to reach it.
- The view over the Bruche valley is the main reason to come.
