Château d'Engelbourg

The Château d'Engelbourg, also known as 'l'Œil de la Sorcière' (The Witch's Eye), is a historic monument located in Thann, France. It was built in the 13th century by the Counts of Ferrette to control the entrance to the Thur Valley. The castle was damaged during the Thirty Years' War and later destroyed on the orders of Louis XIV in 1673. Today, the ruins offer a magnificent panorama over the valley, the collegiate church, and the town of Thann. The site is accessible by a steep stairway or a walk through the vineyards, and pets are allowed. The Witch's Eye, a unique feature of the castle, seems to stare at the roofs in the village and off into the horizon
