Osthouse Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Osthouse Castle, in the Bas-Rhin, has remained since its construction the property of a single family, the Zorn de Bulach, whose possessions in the village are attested before 1349. The present building, on a square plan flanked by four polygonal towers and surrounded by moats, results mainly from two building campaigns: the west wing, built in 1436 by Claus Zorn de Bulach and his sons, and the south wing, erected in the mid-16th century. Selected by the Mission Patrimoine (2018 Loto du patrimoine heritage lottery) and supported by the Fondation du patrimoine to the tune of €165,000, the castle underwent a major restoration completed in March 2022. The park and certain spaces are regularly made available to village associations, notably 'project'ill', which since 1994 has organised sound-and-light shows, Christmas markets, festivals and private receptions there, including weddings.
