Helfenstein fortified Chateau (Ruins)

Le rocher massif qui aurait servi de base au château
On peut encore faire le tour de la base et voir quelques restes de murailles
Des restes de murailles, sur lesquels les arbres ont poussé
Le fossé, qui séparait naguère les deux châteaux, assez bien conservé

Description

Direct neighbor of Falkenstein from which it is separated only by a ditch still well preserved, its construction dates from 1264, whereas it would belong to the duke of Lorraine Ferry III. It was besieged and destroyed by its neighbor in 1435. It served as a stone quarry and its walls disappeared. Long forgotten, he was found by Adolphe Malye in the 19th. Today, there are only scattered blocks engulfed by vegetation. More info here.
