The Haut Koenigsbourg in Alsace gives visitors a basic idea of what medieval castle life was like.
Purists argue that the ruins should have remained untouched because the restoration was insufficiently accurate. Others feel that the reconstruction was accurate enough - and that it was better than having a seldom-seen pile of rubble consumed by the forest.
He did a quality restoration that introduces castle life to millions of travelers. A tour explores the armory, kitchen, battlements, draw bridges, furnished bedrooms, and more. And, his recreation gives visitors a towering, sweeping view of the vast Alsatian plain. It's breathtaking, if you come on a clear day.
Haut Koenigsbourg translates "High King's Castle" in German.
