Steinbach Haus Visitors Center, Texas, United States
4.5 (70 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Castroville Visitor Centers
Start here if they're open.
The Steinbach Haus was originally built in Alsace, France between 1618 and 1648 by the Steinbach family. This house is built with pegs so that it is movable. The Steinbach family lived in the house until 1988 when they disassembled it, numbering the beams and putting them in storage. The fachwerk beams were shipped from France to Castroville, TX in 1998, as a gift to the people of Medina County. The Alsatian volunteers came to Castroville and put the house back together, decorating it with furniture that was donated by the Alsatian people and shipped over. Now it serves as a museum and a visitor center for everyone to enjoy.

Surrounded by red poppies, this beautiful house is the visitor center in Castroville ,Texas. The house was brought from Alsace, France ,in the 1800s. Helpful staff, showed us where to find the sights that were interesting.

Interesting History
Stopped here to get some information about the Castroville area and had a tour of the house. Interesting story about the house and its occupants. Good stop.
