# Château du Vieux-Windstein

Windstein, Bas-Rhin, Grand Est

Château du Vieux-Windstein stands in Windstein (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 14th century). Admission is free. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a narrow sandstone ridge above the village of Windstein, this 12th-century ruin stands out for its features carved straight into the rock: stairways, a cistern, cave-like chambers and a well 41 metres deep. The site retains two separate groups of structures divided by a natural cleft, remnants of a stronghold once split between two noble families. Open to the public with free access, it draws both visitors interested in old fortifications and climbers, as the rock face is a listed climbing area.

**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.
