Ramstein fortified Chateau

Built at the end of the 13th century by the Lords of Winstein, Ramstein Castle was intended to control or prohibit access to the Zinsel Valley. But during the 14th century, the lords of Ramstein transformed their castle into a veritable den of brigands, pillaging and ransoming the entire region. Faced with this situation, the people of Strasbourg, with the help of their Bernese allies, organized a punitive expedition against the fortress and destroyed it in 1335.
