Origin and history

The Wagenbourg Castle is a historic monument located in Soultzmatt, in the Haut-Rhin department, in the Grand Est region. This building, whose origins date back to the 15th and 18th centuries, embodies the typical architecture of this period in Alsace. It is located precisely at 25 rue de la Vallée, in this municipality of the Alsatian vineyard.

The castle was listed as historic monuments in 1987, an official recognition of its heritage value. This protection preserves its architectural features, although the precise details of its style or transformations over the centuries are not explicitly documented in the available sources.

Bibliographic references, such as Jean-Marie Nick's work published in the Annual Bulletin of the Association of Castles and Fortified Cities of Alsace, suggest an academic interest in this site. The castle is thus part of a wider network of castles and protected monuments of the Upper Rhine, reflecting the rich and complex history of this border region.
