About
The Château d'Ingwiller was a castle located at Ingwiller, approximately 30 km (19 mi) west of Haguenau in Bas-Rhin, in the Alsace region of France. The castle, with a tower, which was built towards the end of the fourteenth century, no longer exists.
Extensively renovated several times, its purpose was more residential than military and in the end it did not survive the turbulent history of Alsace. By the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648 much of the château was in ruins. During the nineteenth century the Ingwiller Jewish community built a synagogue on a part of what had been the château's foundations.
