Chateau Andlau

The Chateau d'Andlau is south of Strasbourg and north of Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace.

A sturdy castle, built from the granite on which it sits, Andlau dates from the middle of the 13th century. After various uses, and starting to fall to ruin - helped in the early 19th century by an owner who took to selling off parts of the building for use as building materials elsewhere - the castle has now been taken over and partially restored.

The main body of the castle, with walls largely intact, has a round tower at either end, and occupies a good defensive position on the steep slopes.

It is, as so often with castles, the location that also helps provide the attraction, and there are lovely views across the surrounding forested valleys.

Andlau is on the Alsace Wine Route
