Altstadt Eguisheim

Highlight • Settlement

The stork is the symbolic animal of Alsace. The people here believe that the stork was present at the crucifixion of Jesus. Of course, that's why they honor him so much. Adebar also breeds in other regions of France, such as along the Atlantic coast.

The three keep castles, which stand on the hilltop of the Schlossberg, dominate the Alsatian plain from a height of 591 meters. They were built in the 11th and 12th centuries.

In the center is Wahlenbourg, the oldest. To the north is Dagsbourg, and to the south, Weckmund, built in the 12th century.

The castles were destroyed in 1466 during the Six Denarius War.
