An Alsatian walks into an Alsatian house, 5,000 miles from Alsace
Steinbach Haus Visitors Center的点评
点评：I was born and raised in Alsace, France, and I did not expect to find a piece of my home standing in the Texas Hill Country. The Steinbach Haus stopped me cold.
This is a genuine Alsatian farmhouse, built centuries ago in the village of Wahlbach in Alsace, later dismantled beam by beam, shipped across the Atlantic, and reassembled here as a gift from Alsace to Castroville, the town Alsatian families settled starting in 1844. The half-timbered construction, the steep tiled roof, the window boxes with red geraniums: as someone who grew up around houses exactly like this, I can tell you it is the real thing, down to the joinery. Standing in front of it while the American, Texan, French, and Alsatian flags fly together on the lawn is quietly moving in a way I did not anticipate.
It serves as Castroville's visitor center, so start here: the volunteers are welcoming, there is good material on the town's Alsatian history, and it orients you for a walking tour of the historic district, where dozens of original settler-built homes still stand. Free to visit, and easily combined with a stroll and a stop at the local bakery.
Castroville calls itself the Little Alsace of Texas, and this house is the proof of concept. For anyone with Alsatian or German roots, or anyone who loves improbable history, it is worth the short drive from San Antonio. Bring your camera. The flags alone are worth it.

翻译：我在法国阿尔萨斯出生并长大，原本没料到会在德克萨斯州的丘陵地带看到一座宛如家乡风格的建筑。而当我看到斯坦巴赫小屋时，顿时惊住了。
这是一座地道的阿尔萨斯式农舍，几个世纪前建于阿尔萨斯的瓦尔巴赫村。后来它被逐根拆开，经大西洋运到这里，再重新组装起来。这是阿尔萨斯地区赠予卡斯罗维尔的一份礼物——自1844年起，许多阿尔萨斯家庭便在此定居。木筋结构、陡峭的瓦片屋顶……那些种着红色天竺葵的窗台花箱：作为一个在类似这样的房子里长大的人，我可以肯定地说，这里的做工堪称一流，连木结构细节都无可挑剔。当美国、德克萨斯、法国和阿尔萨斯的旗帜一同在草坪上飘扬时，站在这栋房子前的感觉真是令人动容，这种感动是我事先没有预料到的。
这里也是卡斯特罗维尔的游客中心，因此建议从这里开始参观：志愿者们热情友善，这里还有关于这座小镇的阿尔萨斯历史的丰富资料。这里能为您指引如何游览历史街区——那里至今仍矗立着数十栋由早期定居者建造的房屋。参观免费，还可顺便散步或去当地的面包店歇脚。
卡斯特罗维尔自诩为“德克萨斯州的小阿尔萨斯”，而这栋房子便是其最好的证明。对于有阿尔萨斯或德国血统的人，或是喜欢探寻独特历史故事的人来说，从圣安东尼奥驾车前来一趟绝对值得。别忘了带上相机——光是那些旗帜就足以值得一拍了。
