Steinbach Haus
Originally constructed between 1618 and 1648 in Wahlbach, France, the Steinbach Haus is a stunning example of medieval fachwerk architecture. The home was carefully disassembled and shipped to Castroville in 1998 as a gift from the people of Alsace. Reassembled by volunteers, it now stands as a testament to the strong Alsatian heritage of the area. Visitors can explore the two-and-a-half-story structure, which features traditional wooden pegs and authentic furnishings donated by individuals from Alsace.
