This captivating real photo postcard (RPPC) showcases the majestic Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle, a prominent landmark nestled in the Vosges Mountains of Alsace. The sepia-toned image beautifully captures the castle's imposing stone architecture, complete with its characteristic towers and fortified walls, set against a backdrop of wooded hills. This early 20th-century photographic print offers a vivid glimpse into the historical grandeur of one of Europe's most significant medieval strongholds, meticulously restored and reopened to the public in the years leading up to the postcard's creation.The reverse side confirms its historical journey, bearing a clear 1913 postmark from Sanct-Prix and a 5 Pfennig Deutsches Reich stamp, indicating its origin during a period when Alsace was part of the German Empire. The postcard features a handwritten message in German script and is addressed to Frau Ada von Harden in Sasbach, Baden. A unique circular emblem on the left side advertises "Hotel Hoh-Königsburg, Vogesen. Elsass," adding a layer of period detail and historical context for collectors of German and French regional history, architecture, and vintage travel memorabilia.
