Ettenheim Castle

Description

Ettenheim Castle was the last residence of the last Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg, Louis René Édouard de Rohan-Guémené. It is therefore also referred to as Palais Rohan. Today, it serves as the city administration of Ettenheim.
The town of Ettenheim belonged to the secular possessions of the Prince-Bishopric of Strasbourg since the 11th century. In 1560, Bishop Erasmus Schenk von Limpurg built the structure as an office building in the Renaissance style. The three-story building with a high three-story gable roof was constructed on an even older cellar foundation. Due to its hillside location, the basement is visible from the courtyard. The only architectural adornments are the gable finials, a stone frieze beneath the gable, and the stone coat of arms above the entrance, which is accessed by a double-flight staircase. The keystone on the eastern gable tip of the oriel projecting towards the marketplace displays the coat of arms of the builder Bishop Erasmus and the year 1560.
