About Castroville
Castroville is a genuinely unique small town in Medina County, founded in 1844 by Alsatian settlers and officially recognized by the Texas Historical Commission as “The Little Alsace of Texas.” The historic district preserves its 1840s layout, with homes built from native limestone in a distinct Alsatian architectural style — a quiet, walkable core that feels closer to a 19th-century European village than a typical Texas suburb.
Newer master-planned development has grown up around that historic center, offering more conventional family housing while staying close to Castroville’s parks and small-town amenities.
