Standing proudly above Thann in Alsace, the remains of Château d’Engelbourg—famously called l’Œil de la Sorcière—offer a glimpse into medieval life. Built in the 13th century to safeguard the region, the fortress was later dismantled by Louis XIV’s forces, leaving behind a striking circular ruin nicknamed the “Witch’s Eye.” From this vantage point, you can admire the sprawling vineyards, picturesque townscapes, and rolling hills that define the area. A short hike leads you to the site, where you can immerse yourself in centuries of history and stunning views. Afterward, explore Thann’s charming old quarter and the Gothic Collegiate Church of St. Thiébaut for an unforgettable day.
