Chateau du Haut Koenigsbourg Renovations

The Chateau du Haut-Koenigsbourg is one of the gems of the medieval castles in France. It was build in the 12th century. In 2009, it remains in the top ten of the most visited historical monuments in France!

Starting in February and planned to last for 3 years, the castle will be completely restored in order to maintain its quality, preserve and even improve it. What is more, the site will be compliant with the latest security rules (voted by the French government). The last time the Haut Koenigsbourg was completely restored was from 1900 to 1908. Total cost for this new work: 10 millions euros.

Luckily, the castle will remain open all the time, it was already stunning, it should be even better! See wikipedia for more history. (Picture from Wikipedia)
