Tips from the Community

Nicolas Vergnaud
January 30, 2026, Petit château du Meisenbach

Although the few remaining ruins of this structure are called a castle, it appears that the site was first used as a Roman temple and then as a Christian church. Nearby are superb rock formations typical of the Northern Vosges Mountains.

The Church of Saint-Félix-de-Cantalice was built in 1918 in Wingen-sur-Moder. It is distinguished by its onion-domed bell tower, the spire of which was damaged during the Second World War and subsequently repaired. It overlooks the surrounding plain beautifully.

A secluded pond in the forest, located on the beautiful forest road from Eschbourg to Frohmuhl. There's only one educational facility here, but otherwise no infrastructure, just plenty of idyllic forest scenery.

The centre of the old town is the imposing castle... there is a lot to discover here... it is also worth taking a walk around the outer walls, an underground cistern invites you to explore: https://chateauxfortsalsace.com/fr/chateau/chateau-de-petite-pierre

The remains are not the ruins of a small castle, as the popular name might suggest, but rather the remains of a Roman or Gallo-Roman sanctuary from the 2nd century, with a second phase of use in the 4th century. It may have later been used as a Christian church. In Curt Mündel's guide to the Vosges Mountains (1911 edition), the ruins are referred to as "Meisenbacher Schlössel," and the rock below as "Ochsenstall" (Oxen Stable), probably because the rock overhang was formerly used as a shelter for cattle.
