The Hoh-Hattstatt Castle (French: Château du Haut-Hattstatt ), also called Barbenstein , is the ruin of a hilltop castle at 820 meters above Hattstatt in Upper Alsace . It is listed as a Monument à l'inventaire .
history
On October 4, 1280 Conrad-Wernher von Hattstatt and his cousins certified " to understand this mountain and build with defensive building ". In 1282 the castle is apparently completed, according to a document it is called " domini de Hadistat castrum edificaverunt ". In 1286 the occupation of the new castle " Nuwenburgk, which is called the Mocking Hatstat " is mentioned. “ The servants and the servants who should huss byhutten for our sake ” received 74 quarts of grain and 16 pounds and 5 shillings a year. In 1310 the co-owners agreed to use the income from the jurisdiction and the armament for the maintenance of " Hohen-hatttatt " for 5 years . Around 1423 the castle was a Habsburg fief of the Lords of Hattstatt. 1430–1433 Anton von Hattstatt left half of the property to the Duke of Lorraine in exchange for Saint-Hippolyte . In 1456 the imperial ban was imposed on Johann-Ulrich and his son Johann-Oswald von Hattstatt and the " Sloss Hohen Hattstatt " was entrusted to the complainant Johann von Landeck, but in the following year the Hattstatter received their goods back. In 1462 the castle is mentioned as a hiding place for robber knights. After the capture of the Hohkönigsburg , the league of cities decided to besiege " Hoch Hadstat " as well. During the so-called Six Plappert War against the city of Mulhouse in 1466, the castle was captured and " blown up with powder " and then probably not rebuilt. In the cosmography of Sebastian Münster she is called " castle Staden " ( Postal referred). 1646–1647 the Truchsess von Rheinfelden , heirs of the Hattstatter, sold the stones of the castle for demolition to the city of Colmar .
investment
Today only a few foundation walls are left of the castle. The towering wall of a residential building seen in Rothmüller's view in 1839 has long since collapsed. The elongated core castle with residential building, apparently without a prominent tower, rose on a rock base behind a neck ditch . To the south there are remains of a lower bailey .
