The Château de du Hohlandsbourg is a ruined castle in the ''commune'' of Wintzenheim, near Colmar, in the Haut-Rhin ''département'' of France. It is open to the public between Easter and 11 November. ==History== The construction of the castle, on the order of the Provost of Colmar, Siegfried de Gundolsheim, dates from 1279. The site, 620 m above sea level, allowed for surveillance of Colmar and its region. In 1281, the townspeople of Colmar revolted and set fire to the castle with the help of the Bailiff, Otton d'Ochenstein. The castle came under the control of the Ensisheims before being given in 1410 as a fiefdom to the , then Counts of Lupfen, who enlarged it. In the 16th century, the castle belonged to , general of the Holy Roman Empire, who, it is said, brought Tokay vines from Hungary to Alsace. He enlarged and strengthened the castle. With Alsace becoming French at the end of the Thirty Years' War, the castle welcomed troops who blew it up in 1637 to prevent it falling into the hands of an Austrian army.
