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.

Mas info:
El castillo de Haut-Koenigsbourg, uno de los monumentos más visitados de Francia, no necesita presentación. En el momento de su construcción, en el siglo XII, ocupaba una posición estratégica. Estaba destinado a vigilar las rutas del vino y del trigo en el norte, así como la de la plata y la de la sal de oeste a este. Los suecos lo dejaron en ruinas durante la guerra de los Treinta Años, y después quedó abandonado. En 1899, el emperador Guillermo II emprendió la tarea de reconstruir por completo el castillo con el objetivo de convertirlo en museo y, aprovechando la ocasión, en símbolo de la recuperación de Alsacia por parte de Alemania. Aunque de construcción reciente, el castillo respeta fielmente la arquitectura medieval. Resulta impresionante el refinamiento de sus salas interiores, con pinturas murales, muebles renacentistas y enormes estufas de hierro. En los sótanos se conserva una colección de armas de la Edad Media que incluye ballestas, espadas de todo tipo y armaduras.
