A Historically Significant Abandoned Castle

This is a historically significant abandoned castle. The castle dates back to the late 13th century. It was originally inherited by the Münch family of Basel. It was destroyed in the great earthquake of 1356. It was occupied, bombarded, and dismantled by the Swedes and the French. Only the castle was reused by the Germans as an observation post during World War II. It was once used as a royal prison and later as a state prison, hence it was called the 'Alsace Bastille'.
