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.

View of Eguisheim and the Black Forest

Highlight • Settlement

The vineyards above Eguisheim are a lovely place to walk, especially in autumn when the vines are in their most beautiful colours. The view of the Black Forest on the horizon enhances the landscape.

Eguisheim Castle

Highlight • Other

In Roman times, the square of the city most likely stood on a wooden building on an earthen mound: a motte. In the 8th century, a first Merovingian villa is said to belong to an important landowner named Egino. It may be the beginning of a city that took its name from its founder. In the year 1000, a small octagonal fortress is built around a courtyard. The moats disappear in the 16th century. The chapel within the fortress walls was built on the remains of the castle tower in the 19th century. On June 21, 1002, a famous person, Bruno from Eguisheim, was born in the castle.
The chapel is dedicated to him, because he became pope under the name of Leo IX (1049 - 1054)
