In 1147, the Hohenstaufens built a castle named Castrum Estuphin. Sitting at an altitude over 2,260 ft (700 m), it only consisted of a tower with dungeons. It was constructed on land borrowed from the Canons of Saint-Denis. In 1359 the Bishop of Strasbourg bought the castle for 10,000 gold florins.
