The Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg is a medieval castle located in the commune of Orschwiller in the Bas-Rhin département of France, in the Vosges mountains just west of Sélestat.
It is situated in a strategic location on a rocky spur overlooking the Upper Rhine Plain; as a result it was used by successive powers from the Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War when it was abandoned.
From 1900 to 1908 it was rebuilt at the behest of the German emperor Wilhelm II. Today it is a major tourist site, attracting more than 500,000 visitors a year.
The Buntsandstein rock was first mentioned as Stophanberch (Staufenberg) in a 774 deed issued by the Frankish king Charlemagne.
Again certified in 854, it was then a possession of the French Basilica of St Denis and the site of a monastery.
After World War I, the French state confiscated the castle in accordance with the 1919 Treaty of Versailles.
It has been listed since 1862 and classified since 1993 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
In 2007, ownership was transferred to the Bas-Rhin département.
Today, it is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the region.
For many years it was considered fashionable in France to sneer at the castle because of its links to the German emperor.
Many considered it to be nothing more than a fairy tale castle similar to Neuschwanstein.
However, in recent years many historians have established that, although it is not a completely accurate reconstruction, it is at least interesting for what it shows about Wilhelm II's romantic nationalist ideas of the past and the architect's work.
Indeed, Bodo Ebhardt restored the castle following a close study of the remaining walls, archives and other fortified castles built at the same period.
Parts of the 1937 film La Grande Illusion by Jean Renoir were shot at Haut-Kœnigsbourg.
A copy of the castle has been built in the Berjaya Hills, 60 km north-east of Kuala Lumpur.
A copy of the historical city of Colmar is located next to it.

Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg, France, is one of the truly great cities of Europe, especially because of its large historic zone, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a huge pedestrian area where cars are generally prohibited, with many of its buildings dating back largely to the 15th and 16th centuries, and some to the medieval period.
We are visiting here in December, which is an exciting time to be in Strasbourg because of the Christmas markets. Strasbourg has world's oldest Christmas market, going back 450 years and it has been happening nearly every year since then. In recent years it has got bigger and bigger, so they are open every day for about a month and a half, all through November and December, up through Christmas, from about 10 in the morning until about 8 o'clock at night. You will find all kinds of knickknacks and special one-of-a-kind items that you just won't find anyplace else, and lots of food, and the hot wine to warm you up a little bit. It is a little cold here at this time of year, of course, in December. You can expect to be in the 30s and 40s, but if you bundle up and where your layers you should be just fine. We have had very pleasant weather conditions -- it has not been windy, no rain, blue skies, with some nice clouds and crisp sunshine -- perfect for enjoying this kind of atmosphere.
Of course, Strasbourg is a year-round destination. It's great in the summertime, warmer obviously, you can be out in your shorts and enjoy the sidewalk cafés and the terrace restaurants all summer long for four or five months of the year. Even consider January and February, the low season, if you want to come when the rates are least and the crowds are smallest, you look for winter. Early November is also a dip in the season. Otherwise, it's busy all year round, especially now in the Christmas season when it is very festive. All the lights come on by 5 PM, and you have this great party atmosphere all the time here during the Christmas market. Something special.
Strasburg also has one of the largest pedestrian zones in all of Europe. It goes throughout the entire island, which is surrounded by the River Ill. Which was important, of course, as a source of power and water, and they had a mill, a series of water mills. You can see some of this preserved today, which wd important for grinding grain and other kinds of mechanical action that the water mill would have provided
We are also visiting the Petit France district of Strasbourg, Little France which is one of the most charming areas of Strasbourg. Today it's a beautifully preserved historic zone.
Strasbourg's historic the architecture showcases buildings with a half-timbered type construction, which is typical of northern France, Alsace-Lorraine in particular, with some resemblance to German architecture as well. Among the other attractions here, you can take a boat ride in Strasbourg on the River Ill.
We take you on a walking tour of the historic neighborhoods of Strasbourg, and summarize for you a three-day visit to the area. You'd want to spend probably at least a day and a half or two full days in Strasbourg itself. And perhaps, on a third day go out and visit the nearby wine villages. They are really attractive, charming small towns set in the vineyards in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains, so it is a very picturesque area that can easily take a full day visiting outside of town. And we will take you on some walks in town that will fully occupy day or two at least visiting the historic sites, the Strasbourg cathedral, the shops and we will have a look at some of the restaurants and hotels. Mostly we are just enjoying these beautiful pedestrian streets that are perfect for walking.
