Created in the 12th century as a mountain castle, with a fortified city, at the crossroads of very old roads, on a strategic passage between Alsace and Lorraine, the Château de La Petite Pierre and its fortifications were modernized by Vauban in 1684. This castle, which has not been subjected to an artillery siege, is today the headquarters of the Vosges du Nord Regional Natural Park, an area recognized as a "World Biosphere Reserve" by UNESCO. It is currently closed to the public due to renovation work.
The medieval city is also home to the Musée du Sceau Alsacien, in the former garrison chapel, the Musée des Arts et Traditions populaires (Springerle or positives of old cake molds); another curiosity in the gardens of the Town Hall, the Maison des Païens, a former watchtower and tollhouse, built on Gallo-Roman remains at the beginning of the 16th century, today hosts an exhibition and sale of leather and wooden objects. A magical place in Alsace.
