MASSIF DES VOSGES

Château d'Ochsenstein is located in the commune of Reinhardsmunster, in the heart of the Saverne state forest.
It stands at an altitude of 585 meters on the Schlossberg massif.

Built on three sandstone spurs, it actually comprises three castles: Grand Ochsenstein, Petit Ochsenstein and Château de Wachelheim.

The site is partially enclosed (only the Grand Ochsenstein is accessible), but the remains of a castle chapel are still visible.
