Château de Plobsheim

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Plobsheim, west of Strasbourg, is the former château of the Zorn de Plobsheim family. The village, an imperial fief, was granted in 1414 to the Zorn d'Eckerich family. The present château, the second on the site, is thought to have been built around 1590, after a first château by the road had been demolished in the 18th century. After 1684, the fief passed to Jean-Christophe Gunzer and Nicolas Kempfer. A wing was added in the 19th century, probably in 1836. The building later served as the town hall and then as a school. It now belongs to the commune and has been listed as a Monument historique since 1929. It comprises a basement, a full ground floor and an attic, built of sandstone, rubble stone and render, with a remarkable oriel window and a staircase built within the main structure.
