Le château en bref
The Upper Castle of Bischoffsheim, known as the Oberschloss, was a lowland castle that has since disappeared. Called the Wafflerturm in the 14th century, it consisted of a square keep topped with a pyramidal pavilion roof, flanked by two rectangular wings with pitched roofs and gables, with round corner turrets and an internal spiral staircase, the whole surrounded by a water-filled moat. Acquired after 1550 by Philippe Ingold, who had repairs carried out, then around 1638 by Rudolf de Bergheim, who had date stones engraved (1649, 1653), it was sold as national property in 1793 and then destroyed, its materials being reused to build the church of Krautergersheim in the early 19th century.
