Château du Petit-Ringelstein

Oberhaslach, France

Château du Petit-Ringelstein is a ruined medieval castle located in the commune of Oberhaslach in the Bas-Rhin département of France.

It is perched on a small summit, surrounded by a dry stone wall about 61 meters long and 21 meters wide, with a height of one meter, and bordered by a ditch. The castle likely dates back to the early 13th century and may have served as a primitive form of a siege camp linked to nearby castles like Château du Grand-Ringelstein or Château de Hohenstein.

Its history is not well documented, but the structure’s current appearance probably results from modifications during a siege. The site is accessible via hiking paths and has been protected as a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture since 1898. The name Petit-Ringelstein comes from German roots meaning "little ring stone," reflecting the circular enclosure typical of early medieval fortifications.
