Visit to the castle/fortress Le Haut-Koenigsbourg

After leaving the hotel in a suburb of Strasbourg, we drove toward Colmar and stopped to see this beautiful castle in the Alsace Region of France, Le Haut-Koenigsbourg. It was first mentioned in the 12th century. During the Thirty Years War, it was looted and burned by the Swedes. It was abandoned for two hundred years. It was rebuilt in 1899.
