Le Chateau d'Osthoffen

Dear future guest,

We are most happy to share our family home with you. The rooms in which you will sleep are those used by our ancestors who gaze out from their portraits, no doubt surprised by the 21 st century “mod-cons” of the new en suite bathrooms ! Each room has been refurbished, family belongings restored and central heating installed.

Below you may browse through the wide choice of rooms, each one a reflection of various branches of the family. The double rooms are particularly spacious having armchairs to relax in.

Please feel free to ask Elisabeth at the reception desk for any further information : she will be delighted to assist you.

So wherever you journey on to, we hope you will take along a happy memory of Osthoffen, situated in the heart of Alsace, this most delightful of French regions : this is our aim.

A sincere welcome to you all

▪  Viscount François Grouvel’s bedroom  ▪

• Double room

This was the room of the first family owner of the castle and still remains one of the principal bedrooms. Looking due East it is bathed in morning sun as it rises over the bridge and lights the courtyard below.

▪  Gulath Wellenbourg bedroom  ▪

• Double room

This is the largest bedroom on the 2th floor and named after a German branch of the family. It overlooks the courtyard and tower. Due South, its three windows draw in the sun onto some of the best portraits in the house.

▪  Bedroom of the Nebel sisters  ▪

• Double room

Two generations of the Nebels married into the family.From high up in the Rennaissance gable you look down onto the entry bridge, as if guarding the castle ! Morning sun floods in, a charming scene.

▪  Frau von Ketschau’s bedroom  ▪

• Single room

Up amongst the tall chimneys, this is “batchelors’ quarters” or great for a youngster. The lady’s origin is cloaked in mystery, many documents having been burnt during the last war. Any help as to who she was will be gratefully received!

▪  Dorsner bedroom  ▪

• Single room

This eaved single room looks East over the bridge to the 18 th century fountain. Soft blue toilede Jouy tones with the pastel-portrait - as romantic as you could wish for!

▪  The Bourjolly bedroom  ▪

• Double room

Another single but spacious room with the same view as the precedent,out to the scallop-shaped fountain, hewn out of a unique piece of stone. The decoration is of the late 19 th century when it was used by the owner’s grand parents.

▪  Zuckmantel bedroom  ▪

• Double room

This other ancestor from Germany gave his wife the scallop stone fountain in front of the bridge. The large room is in the South-facing gable with a view out over the park to “the blueline” of the Vosges mountains beyond.

The capital of Alsace, Strasbourg is one of France's greatest cities and the birthplace of paté de foie gras.

It was in Strasbourg that Rouget de Lisle first sang "La Marseillaise," the French national anthem.

Strasbourg is one of France's major ports, only 3km (2 miles) west of the Rhine. In addition to being host to the Council of Europe, Strasbourg is home to the European Parliament, which convenes at the Palais de l'Europe.

In 1871, Strasbourg was absorbed by Germany and made the capital of the territory of Alsace-Lorraine, but reverted to France in 1918.

One street is a perfect illustration of the city's identity crisis: more than a century ago it was avenue Napoléon. In 1871, it became Kaiser-Wilhelmstrasse, then boulevard de la République in 1918. In 1940, it became Adolf-Hitler-Strasse, and ended up as avenue du Général-de-Gaulle in 1945.
