A GLIMPSE OF HISTORY, A CASTLE FULL OF LIFE!

The castle offers a glorious 360 degree view over Alsace and the Black Forest, modern and interactive scenography; a lively castle in the hills above Colmar … The biggest monument, built by the Habsburgs, opens the gates to the past.

MODERN, INTERACTIVE AND LUDIC PRESENTATION

A special itinerary provides a picture of and helps to understand the history, organisation and place of the castle, from the very first Bronze Age site to the contemporary epoch.

It highlights:

– the most significant moments and characters in its history;
– the castle's military function exerted over the territory, the strategic political base of the Habsburgs;
– the huge collection of archaeological artefacts (pottery, clothing, finery,stove tile, bucket, etc.) illustrating the day-to-day life of the castle;
– the ruins from the Middle Ages rediscovered by painters and draughtsmen in the Romantic period (19th century);
– a behind the scenes look at the renovation work, etc.
The modern presentation showcases the castle in a ludic, interactive way, comprising scale models, archaeological collections, illustrations and multimedia games.

A LIVELY AND ANIMATED CASTLE

The 2024 programme at Hohlandsbourg Castle will focus on crafts and sport.


A place of leisure and discovery, the Château du Hohlandsbourg offers a variety of activities and events for families and friends, groups and individuals: a walk around the permanent exhibition, a temporary exhibition, a guided tour, a young explorer's notebook, open workshops, a birthday party... There are many ways to explore this place steeped in history, in a fun and interactive way.
