Château d'Osthoffen

During the 12th century and onwards, Osthoffen became a fortified castle. Due to a siege lead by the Bishop of Strasbourg in 1410, fire raged through the building, depriving it of its 3rd floor. It was rebuilt as a Rennaissance estate and a private dwelling. More changes were made in the 18th century: courtyard walls were removed and new wide windows enlightened both the façade and the interior. The castle lost its towers during the French Revolution by order of the new authorities, one of the first works undertaken by the new owner was to rebuilt them. Today Château d'Osthoffen is a hotel and event venue.
