The great siege cannon
0
0
Copies of 16th and 17th-century cannons are preserved on the artillery platform or Grand Bastion of the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle. In 1633, the fortress was defended by 66 small rampart cannons and 12 large siege ones. Despite this, it was besieged and destroyed by the Swedish armies during the Thirty Years' War. One of the large cannons is still visible today. Haut-Koenigsbourg then remained unoccupied for more than two centuries until Kaiser Wilhelm II decided to restore it in 1900.
