The skilfulness of eagles, acrobatics of black kites, dizzying speeds of falcons, silent flight of owls, closeness to vultures or ingenuity of Egyptian vultures: our residents have many a surprise in store! You will discover birds from all over the world that you could not approach in the wild and see them do what they would in the wild. Demonstrations are made with a view to reproducing the natural behaviour of the birds. They are not aimed at making them do tricks or using them as props in a costume production. All the residents of the Volerie are birds born in captivity: no birds of prey are taken from the wild.
Schedules vary during the season, please consult the website.
Reopening on Wednesday 26 March 2025!

Work to build the castle began in 1250 on the orders of Emperor Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, who died the same year. It was completed in the 15th century.
Since it took up residence in the ruins of Kintzheim castle in 1968, la Volerie des Aigles has been working on an issue that is environmental, but mostly human. As a result of unjustified eradication campaigns and ever-expanding agriculture, the raptor population has fallen alarmingly.
That is why the first park for birds of prey was set up, with the task of restoring the image of those birds in the eyes of the public in a manner that would be enjoyable and educational, helping the birds breed and supporting action for conserving biological diversity.
