Origin and history

Keskastel Castle is a building located in the municipality of Keskastel, in the Greater East Region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This monument therefore remains partially mysterious for local historians.

In the Greater East region, castles have often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the territories. They served as places of power, protection or residence for local lords. In Keskastel, as in other Alsatian villages, these buildings were generally related to agriculture, trade or border defence.
