About Château du Haut-Barr
Château du Haut-Barr is a medieval castle located in Saverne, in the department of Bas-Rhin in northeastern France. The castle was built in the 12th century and sits atop a hill overlooking the town of Saverne and the surrounding countryside. The castle was originally built to protect the nearby abbey of Marmoutier, and played an important role in the region's defense during the Middle Ages. It was occupied by a number of powerful lords over the centuries, including the Bishop of Strasbourg, and was also used as a prison during the French Revolution. Today, the castle is open to the public and is a popular tourist attraction in the region. Visitors can explore the castle's towers, ramparts, and courtyards, and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The castle also hosts a number of cultural events throughout the year, including concerts, theater performances, and exhibitions.
