La Petite-Pierre Castle

📍 La Petite-Pierre · Bas-Rhin (67)

The castle overlooks the fortified village of La Petite-Pierre, whose defences were adapted in Vauban’s era. Since 1977 it has housed the offices of the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park.

Inside, an exhibition space presents the park’s landscapes and the history of the castle. The walk continues through the village lanes and along the ramparts.

💡 Good to know

The village is the starting point for many waymarked trails through the Northern Vosges forests.
