Hidden Vosges house below the La Petite-Pierre fortress
Highlight • Other
Even though it’s not a real castle, it’s located in an area with an impressive history: for centuries, La Petite-Pierre was a strategically important fortress between Alsace and Lorraine. 
High above the valley sits the Château de La Petite-Pierre, whose origins date back to the 12th century and was later expanded into a fortress by Vauban. 
The slopes around the village were once characterized by craftsmen, forest workers, and small businesses – many buildings were later rebuilt or newly constructed in the “castle-like” style.
Today, this spot is a real insider tip: perfect view, quiet location, and an almost magical atmosphere between forest, rocks, and history.
