Kintzheim

Located in the heart of the medieval Kintzheim Castle, the Volerie des Aigles invites visitors of all ages to discover the
fascinating world of birds of prey. For more than fifty years, this iconic site has been dedicated to the protection,
breeding, and public awareness of raptors—eagles, vultures, owls, falcons, and other remarkable species.

Through the “Between Sky and Earth” shows, guests can marvel at the elegance of these birds while learning about their vital role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. Each open-air presentation blends education and emotion, offering a deeper understanding of the threats these species face and a rare, close encounter with them in flight.

More than just a show, the Volerie des Aigles is a place of wonder and commitment, where the beauty of historic heritage meets the richness of the animal world. It’s an unmissable visit for nature lovers and those seeking an authentic experience in a truly unique medieval setting.
