The fingerprints of 19th-century European explorers and settlers can be seen all over Texas, but there isn't anywhere else quite like Castroville. Established by Alsatian immigrants, Castroville is unique with its distinctive historical treasures, French/German/Alsatian food, and beautiful public parks.
Established in 1974, Haby’s has been baking some of the best cakes, pastries, and bread in Medina County. Located in historic Castroville, it’s the best place to buy quality baked goods, including French bread, croissants, and other heirloom recipe-produced delicacies.
For over 30 years now, Dziuk’s Meat Market has been proudly serving customers their quality fresh cuts, famous dried meats, and utterly unique (and delicious!) raw meat parisa. They also offer processing services for hunters, as well as lots of groceries and deli offerings.
Established and run by Louisiana natives and Alsatian descendants, Paris St. Po’Boys offers the best and freshest cajun cuisine in the area. Their po’boys are made with authentic New Orleans bread, and they also offer boudin, alligator, and other creole specialties.
Landmark Inn tells the story of migration, industry, and preservation in Texas. The site is very large and you can easily spend a whole afternoon exploring the museum and all of the old buildings.
The Steinbach Hus (house) was originally built between 1618 and 1648 in Wahlbach, France, in the Alsatian style. It took four years to dissemble, relocate, rebuild, and restore the Steinbach Hus. It arrived by truck in Castroville (as a gift from the Alsatian French government) in 1998, and is now open for visitors.
Castroville Regional Park consists of 126 wooded acres on the banks of the beautiful turquoise Rio Medina (Medina River). The park is surrounded by a walking trail and includes lots of amenities like grills, picnic tables, sports fields, and pavilions. And don’t forget to head up the hill to take in the overlook over the city!
