Château de Westhoffen stands in Westhoffen (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Westhoffen, Alsace, the remains of the Rosenbourg bear witness to a former moated stronghold, built around a square keep guarded by four corner towers. Said to have once belonged to the Templars before passing to the Müllenheim family in the 15th century, the site now consists mainly of wall fragments and faint traces of its old ditches. This is not a château open for a conventional visit, but a spot worth noting for anyone interested in medieval archaeology in Alsace.

What to know

The site consists only of partial ruins, with no organised visitor facilities.
No opening hours or admission fees apply, as this is not a monument run as a standard visitor attraction.
The remaining wall fragments and ditch traces are outdoors, best approached as a historical landmark rather than an equipped tourist site.
Sturdy footwear is advisable given the likely uneven or grassy ground around the ruins.
