The castle is partly built within the rock and dates to the mid-13th century. Its origins remain obscure; the first known occupants were the Pullers, known as the Hohenbourgs. Some of their seigneuries were common to the Fleckensteins, a cause of frequent rivalries. The castle was restored at the beginning of the 16th century. The artillery tower is a fine example of early 16th century military architecture. Also from this period is a beautiful Renaissance doorway. From the terrasse the panorama takes in the Northern Vosges and the Palatinate. The Château de Hohenbourg has been listed since 1898 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
