Château du Kagenfels

Château du Kagenfels (also known as Kaguenfels or Kagenburg) is a ruined castle situated in the Forest of Obernai, in the commune of Ottrott. The castle was constructed in 1262 by Albrecht von Kage, Ministerialis of the Bishop of Strasbourg. The castle passed successively to the nobles of Hohenstein, then to Utenheim and Ramstein, who sold it in 1559 to Lucas Wischbech who repaired and enlarged it. In 1563, the town of Obernai bought it. It was destroyed during the Thirty Years War and is recorded as ruins in 1664.
