Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, France
One for wine buffs, the fortified Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg overlooks the gorgeous Alsace Wine Route, meaning you can indulge in some serious refreshment once you’ve taken in the incredible views across Alsace (and on a clear day, Germany’s Black Forest and the Swiss Alps). Dating from the 12th century, the pink sandstone mountain fortress was destroyed for a second time in 1633 and lay desolate for 200 years before finally beginning an extended restoration process in 1900.
