The Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle was a really cool experience for us, we walked around in there and in every third room stands a oven, big ones with reliefs all around,... all of them had their own chimneys, the roofs of the Castele are full of them :-)

"The château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg (German: Hohkönigsburg) is a medieval castle located at Orschwiller,
Alsace, France, in the Vosges mountains just west of Sélestat. It is situated in a strategic location on a
rocky spur overlooking the Upper Rhine Plain; as a result it was used by successive powers from the
Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War when it was abandoned. From 1900 to 1908 it was rebuilt at the
behest of the German emperor Wilhelm II. Today it is a major tourist site, attracting more than 500,000 visitors a year."
