Lichtenberg Castle -

Visit an extraordinary castle.

Built in the early 13th century by the powerful Lichtenberg family, this castle underwent reovations and further embellishments under the direction of architect Daniel Speckin during the 16th century Louis XiV then captured the castle in 1678 and repurposed it as a fortress.  During the war of 1870 in which
Napoleon 111 and his troops battled the Prussian army, the castle was bombed and left behind in ruins.
Today, its history and cultural identity is retold in a modern way and this venerable monument acts
as a venue for exhibitions, a place of discourse, and a center for artistic experiments and theatrical expression.  This unique dynamic recently earned the castle the "Centre d'interpretation du Patrimone' mark of quality.

A visit to the castle is made with an educational trail laid out in three languages that reveals the castle's most guarded secrets.  Lichenberg is a grand, majestic site affording exceptional panoramic views across the Northern Vosges.   The castle can be toured with the help of a detailed plan available in
French, German and English.  Guided tours in French and German are also available for groups of 15 or more.
