Collegiate until the 16th century, currently a Protestant church, it was built by the Benedictine abbey, outside the monastic enclosure, to house the relics of Saint-Adelphe and thus acquire the dual vocation of parish church and pilgrimage church. This building in late Romanesque style, largely built at the beginning of the 13th century, was deprived of its choir in the 19th century. The church is open every day from April 1 to October 31, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in summer and until 5 p.m. in winter

The Ochsenstall Rock offers an exhilarating mountain biking experience with its rugged terrain and steep slopes. The highlight of your ride is the Ochsenstall Cave, an intriguing little cavern located beneath the rock formations. This cave, carved out by natural forces, offers a moment of exploration and a unique view of the surrounding landscape. It is the perfect place to take a break.

The shelter was probably also used as an ox stable. There is a covered bench there.

From Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Lichtenberg_(Alsace) The castle is surrounded by a wide, deep moat that allows access in only one place. Standing on the moat, the castle shows only high smooth walls without windows. Inside the castle complex there are terraces and meadows next to the buildings. Modern exhibition rooms are integrated in the former "western house" from the 15th and 16th centuries with its round windows, which are unusual for Alsace. The 16th-century 'arsenal of arms' has been converted into a large exhibition space and a cantilevered auditorium has been added which juts out from the old structure of the castle. From the artillery terrace of 1840 there is a wide view all around. Parts of the castle complex and all exhibition rooms are barrier-free accessible. A late Gothic castle chapel is well preserved. It was dedicated to the Trinity. A portrait of Saint Christopher was painted on the side facing the towers.[1] The chapel also served the town of Lichtenberg itself as a church, since it did not have its own.
