Katzenthal

Katzenthal is best known in Alsace for the Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru vineyard. This small commune lies among vine-covered slopes on the eastern foothills of the Vosges Mountains, west of Colmar, in the Haut-Rhin department. Its identity is closely tied to Alsatian winegrowing, with Wineck-Schlossberg particularly associated with Riesling and local family estates. Above the settlement stand the ruins of Wineck Castle, a 13th-century stronghold that recalls the region’s medieval past. Timber-framed houses and narrow lanes give the centre a distinctly Alsatian character, while the surrounding vineyards place Katzenthal on the Alsace Wine Route.
