Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg
The Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg (German: Hohkönigsburg) is located at Orschwiller, Alsace, France, in the Vosges mountains just west of Sélestat.
The castle is nestled at a strategic location on a high hill (757 m) overlooking the Alsatian plain. It was used by successive powers from the middle ages until the Thirty Years War when it was abandoned. In 1900 it was restored under the direction of Emperor Wilhelm II.
