Kintzheim

Kintzheim is in the Bas-Rhin department of the Alsace region, close to the Chateau Haut-Koenigsburg and south-west of Selestat.

The small town is attractive and contains some half-timbered houses and some churches of note - the most interesting is perhaps the tiny Chapel de l'Aigle a little way out of the town, in a pretty setting. Several people claimed to have visions of the Virgin Mary at the chapel during the 19th century.

The ruins of the abandoned chateau de Kintzheim - it was destroyed in 1632 - are small but perfectly formed, and now also play host to an aviary and an extraordinary selection of birds of prey - eagles, falcons, vultures etc. - you can see displays at the castle featuring the birds.

A popular attraction close to Kintzheim is the 'Mountain of Monkeys' (Montagne des Singes) where Barbary monkeys can be seen in a natural habitat.
